meetID 2025 Application (IDWeek) - Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society

meetID 2025 Application (IDWeek)

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.

This program is intended for individuals who have not yet applied to a Pediatric Infectious Diseases fellowship.

NOTE: International Medical Students are welcome to apply. US citizenship or permanent residency is not required to apply to the meetID program.
