*Editors Note: 08:50 Dr. Bandres was referring to fungal infections in the Ohio/Mississippi region rather than tick borne illnesses.*
Joining us today is Dr. Veronica Bandres, an infectious disease specialist at CMC. Dr. Bandres has the unique distinction of starting the infectious disease specialty program here at CMC after completing her fellowship training during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In our conversation, Dr. Bandres will share her journey into this crucial area of medicine and what sparked her passion. We'll discuss her unique experience training in the midst of a global pandemic and how that shaped her approach. She'll explain what exactly falls under the purview of infectious diseases and highlight some of the more common conditions her practice treats.
We'll also dive into important public health topics like STI prevention and testing, pre-travel consultations for international trips, and general tips for avoiding communicable infections.
