Welcome to the Division of Infectious Diseases. We are a group of physicians dedicated to the practice, teaching and research of diseases caused by organisms. Our clinic utilizes a variety of different resources to provide patients with multidisciplinary care on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Division faculty provide a variety of different services to all of UK's healthcare facilities in addition to the ID clinics.
In response to Kentucky's recent identification of patients with COVID-19, the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Kentucky* has developed several protocols and algorithms to assist our team and others respond to the situation.
*These protocols have been adapted from the UK Healthcare official guidance to respond to the specific needs of the Infectious Disease Department. For official UK Healthcare COVID-19 guidance, please visit the COVID-19 Information for Providers & Staff website.
