Jonathan Cohen (July 2004-June 2006)
My experience in residency made me very interested in working on HIV projects here at Temple. I worked with Dr. Samuel and had a chance to investigate barriers to care in an urban HIV clinic. I wanted to see if there was a difference in patients in care and those who keep being admitted to our hospital and are not in care. I developed the protocol and went through the IRB process which was quite informative. I had a chance to present this at a general internal medicine meeting.

Gregory Mayro (July 2005-June 2007)
During my fellowship, I had a chance to work with different faculty in the section on a couple of projects. I was really interested in community acquired pneumonia and the pressure on the ED department about initiating antibiotics. So we looked at the outcome of patients who received them. I also had a chance to work with Drs Lorber and Samuel on a text book chapter in neurotrauma.

Brandon Palermo (July 2005-June 2007)
I have always had an interest in public health and in HIV medicine. I really enjoyed working on many different projects while here at Temple. I worked with Dr. Samuel on multiple HIV projects, Dr. Bettiker on an HIV prevelance study and had the opportunity to write a chapter with Dr. Fekete in the Clinical Infectious Disease textbook. I had multiple presentations and publications as a result.

Heather Clauss (July 2006-June 2008)
During my fellowship, I was able to work on several enjoyable projects with different members of our faculty. I presented a poster at the Focus on Fungal Infections Conference in San Diego during my first year. During my second year, with the support of Dr. Lorber, I wrote a review of central nervous system infections with Listeria monocytogenes. Also during my second year I received a Virology Fellows grant from Bristol Myers Squibb to study the epidemiology of HIV in Temple’s Emergency Department with the help of Dr. Bettiker. We coordinated 7 Internal Medicine residents to gather data on over 2000 patients in the ED during that year. The publication is currently underway.

Jason Bofinger (July 2006-June 2008)
I felt that Temple’s Section of Infectious Diseases offered great support of the fellows’ publications and research. I wrote a case report of bacterial peritonitis caused by Kingella kingae with Dr. Samuel and Dr. Fekete during my first year of fellowship. During my second year, the publication Hospital Physician invited us to write a review of the initiation of HAART in treatment-naïve HIV positive patients. I also had the opportunity to work with Dr. David Schlossberg on a manuscript entitled Tuberculosis FUO. These experiences were meaningful and worthwhile and helped further my education in Infectious Diseases.

Edward Blanchard (July 2007-June 2009)
I had many opportunities to do research during my ID fellowship at Temple. I worked with Dr. Samuel on several interesting projects including a retrospective look at virologic success in our HIV clinic. I was able to present this data in poster format at IDSA in San Diego. The data was also published in the journal HIV Clinical Trials. Additionally, I wrote a chapter on antimicrobials for a Critical Care Study Guide. My most current work is in the clinical uses of intravenous immune globulin with Dr. Samuel and Dr. Suh.

Jaclyn Rosenzweig (July 2007-June 2009)
Doing scholarly work was an important part of my ID fellowship at Temple. I worked extensively with Dr. Fekete writing MKSAP questions for the Infectious Disease section of MKSAP 15. Also, with the help of Dr. Samuel I wrote a chapter for the Critical Care Study Guide entitled “Infections in the ICU.” Both experiences complemented my clinical learning while at Temple.
