Dr. Adrienne Showler is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Infectious Disease, and the Section Chief of Tropical Medicine. She completed her infectious disease fellowship at the University of Toronto, Canada, and tropical medicine training at the Gorgas Course in Lima, Peru. Dr. Showler is co-appointed at the NIH Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases, where her clinical research focuses on American Trypanosomiasis (Chagas Disease) and neglected tropical diseases in foreign-born populations.
As the director of the Georgetown Tropical Medicine Clinic, Dr. Showler loves to teach clinical tropical medicine and parasitology. Infectious disease fellows will gain experience diagnosing and treating a wide variety of travel-related and parasitic infections — in particular as the DC-metro area is home to an extremely diverse population, and serves as a hub for many organizations engaged in international work. Dr. Showler also oversees the travel medicine program, which specializes in travelers with special needs and complex itineraries.
