(2011). "Assessment of the requisites of microbiology based infectious disease training under the pressure of consultation needs". Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 10.1476-0711https://doi.org/10.1186/1476-0711-10-38https://ann-clinmicrob.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1476-0711-10-38http://hdl.handle.net/11452/29438Background: Training of infectious disease (ID) specialists is structured on classical clinical microbiology training in Turkey and ID specialists work as clinical microbiologists at the same time. Hence, this study aimed to determine the clinical skills and knowledge required by clinical microbiologists. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out between June 1, 2010 and September 15, 2010 in 32 ID departments in Turkey. Only patients hospitalized and followed up in the ID departments between January-June 2010 who required consultation with other disciplines were included. Results: A total of 605 patients undergoing 1343 consultations were included, with pulmonology, neurology, cardiology, gastroenterology, nephrology, dermatology, haematology, and endocrinology being the most frequent consultation specialties. The consultation patterns were quite similar and were not affected by either the nature of infections or the critical clinical status of ID patients. Conclusions: The results of our study show that certain internal medicine subdisciplines such as pulmonology, neurology and dermatology appear to be the principal clinical requisites in the training of ID specialists, rather than internal medicine as a whole.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMicrobiologyInfectious diseaseClinical microbiologyTrainingConsultationAntimicrobial therapyAppropriatenessSpecialistsResistanceRiskCross-sectional studiesDermatologyEducation, medical, continuingHumansInfectious disease medicineMicrobiologyNeeds assessmentNeurologyPulmonary medicineReferral and consultationTurkeyArticle0002086550000382-s2.0-834552033621022177310MicrobiologyOne Health Initiative; Curricula; University TeacherAdultArticleCardiologyConsultationCross-sectional studyDermatologyEndocrinologyEye surgeryFemaleGastroenterologyGeneral surgeryHematologyHumanInfectionInternal medicineMajor clinical studyMaleMedical educationMicrobiologyNephrologyNeurologyNeurosurgeryOrthopedic surgeryPatient referralProfessional knowledgePulmonologySepsisSeptic shockUrologic surgeryEducationInfectious disease medicineMethodologyNeeds assessmentOrganization and managementPatient referralTurkey (republic)
