Abstract Advocacy has long been at the core of the infectious diseases (ID) field, with clinicians and researchers advocating to ensure patients can access the care they need on an individual and global scale. The Infectious Diseases Society of America Training Program Directors’ (PD) Committee met in 2024 and discussed ways that advocacy is and should be incorporated into fellowship training, as well as highlighted the role PDs play in advocating for their trainees. Policies with a negative impact on ID clinical care, public health, and research underscore the importance of mobilizing the field of ID to advocate for the patients and communities we serve, as well as for ourselves. This paper presents ideas generated at this meeting and is meant to serve as a reference for ID PDs, as well as the wider ID community, as a call to action for teaching and participating in advocacy work.

Abstract The field of infectious diseases (ID) offers a rewarding career path and is widely viewed as an essential subspecialty in medicine. However, in recent years, these positive aspects have been overshadowed by concerns surrounding low fellowship match rates, undercompensation, and burnout. The Infectious Diseases Society of America Fellowship Training Program Directors Committee met in 2023, discussed the future of ID as a specialty, and sought to develop strategies to highlight the value and opportunities of ID for future generations, as well as underscore the importance of and provide tools for positive messaging to trainees about the subspecialty. This paper presents ideas generated at this meeting and is meant to serve as a reference for ID training program directors, as well as the wider ID community, in uplifting and shaping the future of the field.

There is an increased risk of infection in patients with cancer that results in higher morbidity and mortality. Several risk factors can predispose these patients to infectious complications. Some such factors include immunocompromised states like neutropenia, allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, and graft-versus-host disease, while others include immunosuppressive agents like corticosteroids, purine analogs, monoclonal antibodies, and other emerging cancer therapeutics like CAR T-cell therapy. The NCCN Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Cancer-Related Infections address infection concerns that may be observed in these immunocompromised populations and characterize the major pathogens to which patients with cancer are susceptible, with a focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of major common and opportunistic infections. This paper highlights 2 recently updated sections of the guidelines, namely, infection concerns related to CAR T-cell therapy and antimicrobial prophylaxis recommendations, including vaccination, in patients at high-risk for infections.
