Medical Microbiology

Dec 9, 2022

Can you see yourself in a field where it’s truly possible to cure your patients? Are you aware of the amazing opportunities available in this niche specialty called Medical Microbiology?
 
Tony Mazzulli, MD, FRCPC debunks a few myths about this every-changing field… namely about being locked in a lab staring down a microscope! Medical Microbiologists indeed interact with clinicians and can do clinical work and see patients. Dr. Mazzulli walks host Emily Wu through his incredible experience with the first SARS outbreak and shares how his career spans across other diseases such HIV, Hepatitis C, West Nile Virus, and COVID-19.
 
If you're looking for a specialty that involves research, lab work, collaboration with many specialties including Public Health, teaching, and even some clinical work (if this is how you want to shape your career) .... then Medical Microbiology might just be for you.
 
And… lab specialists have better control over their research (after all, it’s their lab!).
