Meet an Alum: Dr. Michael Moran

Michael Moran, DO, MS
Class of 2025
Post-graduate employment: Infectious Disease Physician, SSM Health, Madison WI
How our program prepared him: "I am so grateful for my training at UW. The faculty truly invest in their fellows and are dedicated to preparing us for our future careers any way they can. The program leadership is always advocating for the fellows to ensure not only are we getting extensive experience in all areas of ID, but also maintain a quality of life outside of work. I know that I'll always have the backing of the program moving forward when tough cases come up or need any other kind of support."

Meet an Alum: Dr. Brad Smith
Class of 2017
Post-graduate employment: Infectious disease practice, Sanford Health, Fargo, ND
How our program prepared him: "Surgical site infections and surgical pathology is a constant among nearly all ID physicians wherever they work....The experience garnered at UW in terms of surgical site and device-related infections left me well prepared to start on day one out of fellowship. The number and variety of cases you will experience as a UW ID fellow—from complicated neurosurgical cases to orthopedic infections—will shape a level of competence and confidence that allows you to pick up and start work virtually anywhere."
