Abstract
Welcome to The Infectious Diseases Consult Handbook – Common Questions and Answers! In this book, we will tackle some of the most frequently asked questions of the infectious disease (ID) consultant on the adult inpatient service. Before we begin with nuanced questions regarding specific organisms and infections, let us discuss some basic mechanics of being a consultant. In this chapter, we will discuss some of the typical day-to-day operations involved in being an ID consultant, review important resources, and touch upon future directions in the field that may change practice over our careers.
