My name is Sasinuch Rutjanawech, MD. A second year clinical fellow in the Division of Infectious Diseases, Washington University School of Medicine. I graduated as a medical doctor in 2004. After one year of internship and another two years as a general practitioner in university hospital, I had been doing Internal Medicine Residency (2007-2010) and then Infectious Diseases Fellowship (2010-2012) training. Then, I had worked as an infectious disease physician along with a medical instructor at Faculty of Medicine Thammasat University, Bangkok, Thailand. I also involved in antimicrobial stewardship program and collaborated with my colleagues on some research about multidrug-resistant infection. Because of the need of infectious disease specialist in transplant center at my institute while transplant-related infection is quite novel and formal curriculum for that has yet initiated in Thailand, I purposely came to the United States to further study about infection in solid organ/ hematopoietic stem cell transplant and immunocompromised patients. I was a research scholar studying about endemic fungal infection focusing on transplant for one year before starting my clinical fellowship program. As the first-year clinical fellow, I mainly involved in patient care for both general and transplant infectious disease. For the second year, I will spend more time with research on transplant patients with transplant-related infection, mostly fungal disease.
