The meetID program provides a broad overview of pediatric infectious diseases (PID), career exploration in PID, support and resources needed to excel in science and medicine, and an opportunity to network with other trainees, faculty, and PIDS leadership. Additionally, trainees will have an opportunity to re-engage virtually throughout the year with various PID leaders, who will serve as mentors that can provide career guidance and support.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis for each intended meeting. Materials and deadlines can be found below.

The submission deadlines to submit cover letter and CV are December 18, 2023 for St. Jude/PIDS and PAS conferences and July 15, 2024 for IDWeek.This year, we have combined the St. Jude and PAS meeting applications, as the PAS event is scheduled to take place in Toronto, Canada. This decision ensures that participants have ample time to prepare travel documentation and make necessary arrangements.
