Dr. Gullberg is an Associate Clinical Professor, and board certified in Internal Medicine and Infectious Disease. He has practiced Infectious Diseases in a Community Hospital for three decades. During that time, he has trained hundreds of medical students, medical residents, PA students, and nursing students on all levels. He is a seasoned lecturer, and he continues to teach practical principles of Infectious Diseases on a daily basis. Because of his years of experience, Dr. Gullberg knows the most effective format for learning in regards to a core of Infectious Disease topics. Infectious Disease Case Studies is written in a bottom line format. The question and answer after each section make it very practical for Board Review study. He has handpicked the most common day-to-day problems in the field of Infectious Diseases that healthcare providers must be knowledgeable about. The vast majority of the cases presented here concern patients that he has seen in the hospital or medicine clinic. They should provide valuable insights for quick reference and learning.
