The Clinical Practice Innovation Award is given to members who devote the majority of their time to patient care and who have significantly advanced the clinical practice of infectious diseases within the last five years. This may be accomplished through innovation in clinical practice design or management, or advocacy on behalf of IDSA that fosters change to better recognize the value of infectious diseases practice.
The Clinical Practice Innovation Award recognizes individuals who have devoted the majority of their time to patient care and have driven meaningful change in the field over the past five years.
