I knew I wanted to be an infection specialist during medical school. I found the relationship between pathogens and the human body fascinating. I was drawn to how the speciality encompassed all body systems. There is never a dull day in this field- when we diagnose an unusual or rare infection it is very exciting! I love the detective work required to find the responsible pathogen and the right treatment. I also chose this specialty because unlike a lot of other medical specialties, it is often not a particularly time pressured environment. I work best when I have time to collate all of the information and can give each case my best care.
