24th to 26th November 2017, Melbourne, Australia.
Delegates of the ASID (Australasian Society for Infectious Diseases) Trainee Weekend will spend 2-3 days undertaking didactic teaching in areas relevant to paediatric ID, adult ID and microbiology. Understanding that not all rotations are made equal and that the breadth of infectious diseases is broad, the idea is to have a weekend of teaching prepared by trainees for trainees to fill any knowledge gaps. Current trainees will be colleagues for the remainder of their career interaction, so there will be plenty of opportunity for socialising and networking to build professional friendships.
