IDSA

Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) is committed to serving the needs of our members—what matters most to you, matters most to us.

Our work is guided by our mission: to improve the health of individuals, communities, and society by promoting excellence in patient care, education, research, public health, and prevention.

The priorities of IDSA are rooted in science and in our commitment to meeting the needs of the infectious disease community and the patients whom we serve. These priorities are also guided by principles related to inclusion, diversity, access and equity: cultivating a welcoming environment where differences are embraced, valued, and respected; ensuring that processes, policies, and practices foster fairness, belonging, equity, and reflect the views and values of our Society; and guaranteeing transparency to promote fair treatment and access to opportunities for all members within all levels of the organization.
