About us

Dr. Vielemeyer, Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine, received his M.D. degree from the University of Leipzig Medical School in Germany. After postgraduate training in Germany, he moved to the U.S. to complete a residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Rochester.  He then obtained dual fellowship training in Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology at Yale University. Prior to joining WCMC/NYP, he worked at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia, seeing inpatient and outpatient general ID consults with fellows and running the infection control program at Hahnemann University Hospital. Dr. Vielemeyer is currently the Medical Director of ID Associates and Travel Medicine at Weill Cornell. There he performs general infectious diseases consultative services in the in- and outpatient settings, including travel health advice. Aside from his passion for travel medicine and teaching, his interests lie in developing clinical research projects aimed at improving the transition from inpatient to outpatient care of patients with chronic infections, especially those needing Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy (OPAT).
