Dr. David Banach, with nearly 20 years in infectious diseases, reflects on his holistic approach that combines clinical practice with public health. He views infections as multi-faceted challenges affecting not only individuals but also communities. His daily responsibilities involve treating complex cases, educating future healthcare professionals, contributing to infection prevention policies, and conducting relevant research. Balancing clinical care with public health, he seeks to understand patterns impacting patient health, such as antibiotic resistance, and strives to address systemic issues while maintaining focus on the individual patient.
An infection affects not just an individual but also a family, hospital, or community. The intersection of individual care and population health interests me.
My day varies; I see complex patients, teach, work on infection policies, and conduct research. This variety keeps my work engaging.
