Created in 2014, the IDWeek Mentorship Program was developed to provide a platform for more ID mentorship opportunities. The program provides mentees with access to both leaders in the field of ID and the academic support they need to create their imprint on the ID community. The impact of this program will have long-lasting benefits.
This program focuses on effective mentor and mentee interactions by incorporating three key elements in our program: support, education and a vision of the mentee’s future career. Mentors help mentees to think strategically about their careers and provide insightful guidance for mentees during the varying stages of their career development. Through this program, mentees will apply to be matched with a mentor that works in a focus area in which the mentee has an interest.
Mentees must be medical students, residents and/or fellows or PharmD student, PharmD residents, and/or PharmD fellows from an accredited medical school, residency, or ID fellowship training program in the United States, Mexico, or Canada. Mentees must also be registered for IDWeek.
Mentors must be post-fellowship and registered for IDWeek.
Please direct all questions about the program to IDWeekMentorship@IDSociety.org.
Come watch teams of fellows, medical students and residents compete in the IDBugBowl!
IDWeek is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone regardless of color, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion. IDWeek does not tolerate harassment or bullying of conference participants, staff clients or any affiliate.
All IDWeek 2022 attendees will need to certify that they are fully up-to-date with their COVID-19 vaccine. IDWeek will provide an electronic system for attendees to submit proof of vaccine and booster dose, if eligible, before badges will be printed for live attendance. In the coming weeks, instructions to upload proof of up-to-date vaccinate status will be emailed to registrants.
I understand that if I do not provide proof of up-to-date vaccination, I will not be able to pick up my badge and attend sessions. Under this policy, attendees will need to be up to date with a CDC, FDA, or WHO authorized vaccine to attend, and must upload proof of vaccination to pick up their badge at registration in Washington, DC.
Up-to-date means a person has received all recommended COVID-19 vaccines, including any booster dose(s) when eligible at least 14 days prior to the start of the conference.*
Registered International Attendees Proof of Vaccination
Exceptions to the Health & Safety Policy Exceptions can be made for attendees with a medical condition or closely held religious belief that prevents vaccination. These attendees must provide proof in advance of the conference, and a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72-hours prior to the conference start time. If you need an exception, please email info@idweek.org. Exemption forms and protocols are currently in development as they need to reflect the state of the pandemic during IDWeek 2022. Once available, IDWeek will send the required documentation for completion.
Registered Attendees Submit Proof of Vaccination
In order to make your experience at IDWeek 2022 seamless, we’ve partnered with CLEAR Health Pass to make your COVID-19 screening easier. As a reminder, IDSA requires all attendees to show proof of vaccination (including a booster shot) in order to enter the IDWeek 2022.
