Idsny

Description

Who we are IDSNY brings together the community of infectious diseases specialists of the metropolitan NY area. Our membership is comprised of physicians, researchers and others with a strong interest in ID. IDSNY is an independent society, founded in 1993 and recognized as a regional arm of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. What we do Each year, we hold an annual symposium, named to commemorate one of IDSNY's founders, Harold S. Neu, MD. A scientific session is held in the afternoon, followed by dinner and a business meeting. Once or twice a year, IDSNY collaborates with Intercity Infectious Disease Rounds to hold meetings on special topics of interest. As an organization, we can respond to public health crises with more capability and authority than as individuals. We are a resource of information on infectious diseases for local officials; we are able to serve as a conduit between the NYC Dept of Health and ID specialists. Our future plans include sponsoring a research fellowship; issuing position statements on current ID topics, such as bio-terrorism and emerging diseases.
