Welcome to the College of Medicine 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 health care facilities in addition to the infectious disease clinics.
In response to Kentucky's recent identification of patients with COVID-19, the division 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 and Staff website.
