John DeLury, MD

Following his graduation from the College of Medicine at SUNY Downstate Dr. Delury completed his residency training at the University of Wisconsin (Madison).  He then completed his Infectious Disease Fellowship at the University of New Mexico, during the period of the Hantavirus outbreak in the four corners.  After working as a hospital physician at the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage, he returned to join the ID faculty at Downstate and Kings County.  He is in charge of the antimicrobial stewardship program at NYC H+H/Kings County.  He is committed to the education of the ID fellows and is in charge of the year-long review course.  His emphasis is to help fellows efficiently build strong differentials and treatment plans.
