摘要
We aimed to highlight the complexity of the field of clinical infectious diseases compared with other medical specialties. Using available metrics, the body of knowledge within clinical infectious diseases is comparatively large and complex. This increasing complexity is underappreciated by current physician compensation schemes, needs to be carefully managed to educate future physicians, and may serve as a barrier to recruitment into the field.
