I would say my 2 years in Charleston were the best years. It was a busy fellowship with high complexity and patients from all disciplines of infectious diseases. From HIV to BMT patients to NTM and orthopedic infections. I also had ample time to complete my multi center research project. Charleston is beautiful and it grows on you. I would happily come back and relive those years!
