  • Congratulations to Patrick Delaplain, MD on Joining SIS

    As surgeons, we are frequently involved in many of the causes of severe infection in hospitalized patients, and we have significant sway over both the intiation and duration of treatments. As such, we have the capacity to be a hindrance to antibiotic stewardship or its biggest proponents. I think that infection is a critical, and interesting, aspect of our field that is actively undergoing significant changes. By joining SIS, I am hoping to become more involved in ongoing research efforts by the society.
