Diverse Career Opportunities Beyond the Ward

Although clinical care is central, it is not the only path. Pediatric Infectious Diseases opens doors to many roles, including:

Antibiotic stewardship and infection prevention
Vaccine research, implementation, and advocacy
Public health leadership and policy development
Clinical and epidemiological research
Teaching and mentorship
My own career has allowed me to treat children, prevent infections, conduct research, and advocate for preventive measures such as vaccines and the responsible use of antibiotics. This variety has been one of the greatest strengths of the specialty.

Working With Children and Families

Caring for children brings its own challenges and rewards. Families are often anxious, hopeful, and deeply involved in care. Even in difficult circumstances, children show resilience that can be humbling.

Being part of a child’s recovery, or helping a family understand how to prevent future illness, is deeply fulfilling. These moments remind you why the work matters.

Collaboration and Community

Pediatric Infectious Diseases is not practiced in isolation. It requires close collaboration with nurses, microbiologists, pharmacists, public health professionals, and other specialists. You work with people who are thoughtful, committed, and driven by impact rather than prestige.

That shared purpose creates strong professional communities and lasting mentorship relationships. My own journey would not have been possible without such collaboration.

A Realistic Perspective on Compensation

It is important to be honest. Pediatric Infectious Diseases is one of the lower-paying subspecialties. Those considering it should do so with clear eyes. But compensation is only one measure of value.

For me, the intellectual engagement, the variety of work, and the opportunity to influence future generations have far outweighed financial considerations. Satisfaction comes from knowing that your work changes lives and systems.

Looking Back, 20 Years Later

20 years after completing my fellowship, I am grateful for the path I chose. I have been privileged to contribute to the treatment and prevention of pediatric infectious diseases, to conduct research, and to advocate for vaccines and the prevention of antibiotic resistance.

Pediatric Infectious Diseases is not an easy career. But it is meaningful, challenging, and deeply rewarding. For those drawn to complexity, impact, and service to children, it is a path worth considering.

(A Cry in the Spirit)

I have seen Yet Another gate…
It is dreadful to behold,
for many servants of the LORD walk through it Comfortably.
It does not smell of sin,
it smells of success.
It does not bear the look of rebellion,
it wears the garment of excellence.
Yet before GOD, it is rebellion still.

It is called The Gate of Substitution.

It is the place where men who once heard GOD now help Him.

I saw altars still burning
but with strange fire.
Songs still rising
but without fragrance.
Hands still lifted
but no longer accepted.
And the LORD wept.

He said to me,

“My house is full of movements I did not initiate.
My name is on many things I did not instruct.
I am being replaced by men who still speak for ME.”

Oh, I saw men who once waited for the whisper of His breath,
now running on the memory of what He said.
I saw priests who once carried burdens,
now managing brands.
I saw altars raised to preserve visibility,
not to host Divinity.

This gate does not destroy your ministry;
it empties it.
You will still have crowds,
but no Presence.
You will still have results,
but no approval.
You will still have invitations,
but no voice.

And I heard the Spirit cry within me,
with pain too deep for words

“Return”
“Return”
“Return to the silence that taught you dependence.”

For the LORD says,

��I am not impressed by what you build for ME,
when you have stopped building with ME.
I do not dwell in accuracy without intimacy.
I do not walk with men who no longer wait for ME.”

Oh generation of men,
How did we get here?
When did we learn to replace HIM with strategy?
When did we begin to measure the move of GOD
by the noise of men?

This is the gate that deceives the anointed.
It feeds on those who once carried burdens.
It blinds the eyes that once saw clearly.
It makes you effective before men
and irrelevant before GOD.

Beloved, beware…
You can still move multitudes
and yet be missing from the roll call of intimacy.
You can still quote HIS words
and yet no longer Know HIM.
You can still cry “Revival!”
and yet be void of the SPIRIT who revives.

And the Lord whispered again,
in that holy sorrow that only few discern

“Tell My sons, I miss their brokenness.”
“Tell My servants, I miss their tears.”
“Tell My daughters, I miss their waiting.”

For it is possible to work for GOD
and yet walk away from HIM.
It is possible to build what men will celebrate
and yet grieve the One who called you.
It is possible to fill the earth with your name
and yet stand unknown before the throne.

IF You Are Broken and Sorry Like Me Repeat This Words After Me,

Oh LORD…
Deliver us from the Gate of Substitution.
Deliver us from the need to be seen.
Deliver us from the noise that drowned Your whisper.
Deliver us from the ease that killed our hunger.

Strip us again until only You remain.
Empty us again until dependence is restored.
Break us again until tears return.
Hide us again until pride dies.

Let the applause fade,
let the stage go dark,
let the systems collapse
if only Your Presence will return.

For what use is ministry without You?
What use is accuracy without intimacy?
What use is influence if You are absent?

Oh God…
Save us from the Gate of Substitution.
That we may not preach what we no longer live,
That we may not teach what You no longer bless,
That we may not lead men to You
while walking away from You ourselves.

For in the end,
it will not be what we did for You,
but what remained of You in us
that YOU will weigh.

LORD, Help Toluwalogo Agboola.

Write your name ….and Declare - KEEP RUNNING !!!

[Naijasermon.com @naijasermons]

THE LORD SPEAKS…

Why Do You Despise My Process?

You Love Results, But YOU HATE THE FIRE THAT PRODUCES THEM.
You Desire Power, But YOU REJECT THE TRAINING THAT MAKES YOU WORTHY OF IT.
You Seek Influence, But YOU REFUSE THE DISCIPLINE THAT KEEPS A MAN FROM FALLING.

Have I Changed?
Have I Lowered My Standards?
Did I Not Hide DAVID In The Wilderness Before I Gave Him The Throne?
Did I Not Break JOSEPH In The Prison Before I Lifted Him To Glory?

But You, You Want The Crown Without The Crushing.
You Want The Oil Without The Pressing.

What Kind Of Men Do You Think I Use?

I Do Not Use Men Who Have Not Been Tested.
I Do Not Trust Men Who Have Not Been Broken.
I Do Not Send Men Who Have Not Been Refined.

Yet You Run From My Process!

You Despise Waiting, Yet You Want To Carry My Power.
You Avoid Correction, Yet You Claim To Speak For Me.
You Resist Consecration, Yet You Desire The Miracles Of The Ancients.

Where Did You Learn This Way?

A Generation That Loves Process As Much As They Love Results Is A Generation That Will WIN.
A Church That Embraces The Fire Is A Church That Hell Will Never Overcome.
But You, You Want Shortcuts.
You Want Titles.
You Want Platforms.
You Want Applause.

But I Do Not Give Myself To The Unprocessed.

I Am Calling Forth A Remnant.
A People Who Will Remain In The Furnace Until They Are Pure.
A People Who Will Love The Making As Much As The Manifestation.
A People Who Will Submit To The Fire Before They Demand The Throne.

For The Church Has Labored In Its Own Strength And Has Produced Men Without Depth.
The Pulpits Are Filled With Unprocessed Voices.
The Altars Are Occupied By Men I Did Not Send.
The Platforms Are Covered With Those Who Skipped My Dealings.

And This Is Why There Is No Power.

You Have Raised Men Too Quickly, And They Have Fallen Just As Fast.
You Have Sent Men Before I Approved Them, And They Have Brought Reproach To My Name.
You Have Desired Speed, But You Have Ignored Accuracy.

For I Am Tearing Down This System.
I Am Shaking The Foundations Of This Quick-Made Generation.
I Am Exposing The Emptiness Of Those Who Have Refused My Process.
I Am Bringing Back The Days When Men Will Be Tested Before They Are Trusted.

For Until You Are Made, You Cannot Be Sent.
Until You Endure, You Cannot Represent Me.
Until You Submit, You Cannot Carry My Power.

The Era Of Half-Made Men Is Over.
I Am Raising Men Who Have Been Forged In Fire.
Men Who Have Endured My Process.
Men Who Will Carry My Glory Without Corruption.

You Cannot Escape The Fire.
You Cannot Avoid The Process.
Those Who Submit Will Be Used.
Those Who Resist Will Be Replaced.

The Time Of Shaking Has Come.

Who Then Shall Remain?

My attending once said, “If you don’t want to miss something, you have to know where look for it!”

Intracranial aneurysms may occur at many locations, but overwhelming at the ACOM & PCOMM. Look hard at these regions!

Remember, you miss 100% of aneurysms you don't look for!

Remember these two regions by always saying to yourself before you sign off any angiogram report:

"Always Please Communicate Aneurysms!"

Always = Anterior
Please = Posterior
Communicate = Communicating

Hopefully this will rupture any misconceptions about where to look for aneurysms!
