Abstract
Purpose of review: As the volume and complexity of solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation continue to see rapid growth, the training of a specialized transplant infectious diseases physician workforce is of increasing interest and importance. This review provides an overview of the evolution of transplant infectious diseases training programs, essential elements of training, as well as future needs.
Recent findings: Despite the first publication of a transplant infectious diseases curriculum in 2010, more recent surveys of infectious diseases trainees have identified gaps in didactic curriculum, donor and recipient assessment, and safe living practices.
Summary: This review of transplant infectious diseases training summarizes growth through the decades, the current landscape of recommend training elements, suggested areas for continued development and expansion in training as well as novel methodologies to reach a modern trainee audience.
