Announcements

Dr. Sarah Fulham and Dr. Ben Vaccaro graduated from Columbia University's medical school on May 18, 2011.

Both spent a summer learning about Lyme and Tick-borne Diseases as a result of the Center's Fellowship Program for medical students. Congrats to them! How happy we are that two brilliant and compassionate young doctors will soon be caring for patients -- and fully alert as to how to recognize and help individuals afflicted with Lyme or other Tick-borne diseases.

Training Opportunities

Each summer 2-3 medical students between 1^st and 2^nd year spend 6-8 weeks at the Lyme and Tick Borne Diseases Research Program.  These students receive didactic instruction in Lyme and Tick Borne Diseases specifically and in neurology and psychiatry in general.  In addition, through the generous support of the Monsky family and friends, a post-residency fellowship was established to provide physicians with in depth training from both a research and clinical perspective on how to help patients with chronic Lyme disease.
