Physician Rotation at MDH

 

The close collaboration between the Minnesota health care community and the Minnesota Department Health has been critical to the many successes in public health that Minnesota has experienced. In order to expand and improve this close relationship, MDH offers a two-day rotation for physicians-in-training with the goal of improving knowledge and communication between the health care community and MDH.  It is about 10 hours split between a Monday and Friday and offered about every 4 weeks. Upcoming dates for this academic year are below.

 

Content experts predominantly in the Infectious Disease Section and the Public Health Laboratory cover topics on an individual or small group basis including foodborne disease, zoonoses, vector-borne disease, infection prevention and control, refugee health, tuberculosis, immunizations, HIV/STD’s, laboratory and molecular epidemiology, and hot topics such as H1N1 Novel influenza among others.

 

Content is targeted toward residents but interested medical students would also be considered. If you have someone interested or have further questions about the rotation please let me know.

 

Please feel free to forward this to others within your program as well as others outside of your program who might be interested.
