The experiences the COVID-19 pandemic brought to Southern Nevada highlighted the critical need to train excellent infectious disease clinicians as part of a workforce that responds to complex crises. It is not enough to know about the importance of public health work. Rather, it is imperative to be a force multiplier with experiential understanding of how health departments benefit the populations they serve. The last 3 years have reminded the world of the importance of our work in infectious diseases and has reiterated the value we add to society's well-being through public-private partnerships. We are training the ID physician workforce of the future with the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic at a local and national level.
