@TxID_Fellows @JosephMarcusID @TakaMatsuo_ID @tmhohl71 @GenPapaMD @RazonableMD @AnnaApostolopo3 @rodolfo_alpizar @TxID_Edu @Admishkin Fellowship is a great time to build skills. It's easy to feel pressure to establish a niche right away, but often having skills for later is invaluable. Like a specific project might not be your "thing", but if you learn a new method then it may still pay off later.

Q8/ What actions during fellowship most influenced your career trajectory (job opportunities, niche development, leadership roles) after graduation? #TxIDChat @JosephMarcusID @TakaMatsuo_ID @tmhohl71 @GenPapaMD @razonableMD @AnnaApostolopo3 @rodolfo_alpizar @TxID_Edu @Admishkin

Ask your program leadership and see who has a track record of mentorship, especially in your area of interest. You can always have multiple mentors too!

Q6/ What makes a good TID mentor, and how did you successfully identify and engage mentors at a new institution? #TxIDChat @DrPHO_ID @natetxid @shahidh80523771 @alan_koff @shwetanjan @ClancyNeil @JosephSassineMD @Doctor_Yiannis @HannahImlay @JoshuaHillMD @SAIRABT @vojtek_md

@TxID_Fellows @HansHHirsch1 @Jmsteinbrink @DanielDulekMD @pascalisID @TedRader4MD @NeerajaSwamina2 Start by asking what has already been done by prior fellows. This will give a general idea about what's feasible in one year, and sometimes datasets may already exist that you can build on in a new direction.

Q5/ How did you identify a research, QI, or educational project that was both meaningful and feasible to complete within a single fellowship year? Time management tips for research? #TxIDChat @HansHHirsch1 @Jmsteinbrink @DanielDulekMD @pascalisID @TedRader4MD @NeerajaSwamina2

@TxID_Fellows @OrlaMorris61218 @RicardoLaHozMD @EileenMaziarz @MadyHeldman @DrAndreKalil @alfred_luk @JennKChow It's easy to overlook, but I'd make sure you have a grasp of the non-ID basics of transplants. Immunosuppression, surgical approaches, common noninfectious complications - these come up often and will be important to know!

Q4/ With limited time in a one-year fellowship, which clinical skills or knowledge areas in TID should fellows prioritize mastering first—and which can wait? #TxIDChat @OrlaMorris61218 @RicardoLaHozMD @EileenMaziarz @MadyHeldman @DrAndreKalil @alfred_luk @JennKChow

@TxID_Fellows @EmilyBlumbergMD @emilymeich @DrNeilStone @ApuAkkad1 @RachelSigler8 @ChemalyRoy @AndrewKaraba @DhandAbhay @camwolfe Being deliberate about getting to know members of the transplant teams. You end up working with a lot of the same people through the year, and knowing who to call from specific transplant teams is invaluable! #TxIDChat

Q2/ What is the single most important thing you wish you had done in the first 30–60 days of your TID fellowship to set yourself up for success? #TxIDChat @EmilyBlumbergMD @emilymeich @DrNeilStone @ApuAkkad1 @RachelSigler8 @ChemalyRoy @AndrewKaraba @DhandAbhay @camwolfe
