Physician-scientists, no matter their particular disease or research focus, within divisions of infectious diseases serve a number of key roles. Foremost, they promote scholarship and excellence in research endeavors with the potential for impact not only within their division or university but globally. These individuals also make important contributions to the training experiences of infectious diseases fellows and internal medicine residents, helping to foster an understanding of how evidence-based (or not) our patient care delivery actually is. Ongoing discussions between those focused on the clinical aspects of infectious diseases and those predominantly pursuing research questions enrich the scholarly environment for both physician groups and provides the foundation for translating the science to improved care for patients with infectious diseases.
医师科学家，无论其特定的疾病或研究重点如何，在传染病学领域都扮演着多个关键角色。首先，他们通过有可能不仅在自己的科室或大学，而且在全球范围内产生影响的研究工作，推动学术研究和卓越发展。这些人还为传染病学研究员和内科住院医师的培训经验做出了重要贡献，帮助他们理解我们的患者护理实际提供的服务是基于证据的（或不是）。关注传染病临床方面的人和主要研究问题的人之间的持续讨论，丰富了两个医师群体的学术环境，并为将科学转化为改善传染病患者的护理提供了基础。
