Infectious Disease Physician

Infectious Disease Physician

Complex infection does not wait for a perfect chart. In this role you will turn uncertain presentations into a clear diagnosis, a targeted plan, and a safer course of antibiotics. Your work will change outcomes for critically ill and immunocompromised patients and stop problems that would otherwise spread through the hospital and the community.
Performance Objectives

• Shorten time to effective therapy for bloodstream, device-related, and opportunistic infections by directing the workup and first treatment decision.
• Reduce unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotic days through stewardship recommendations that clinicians actually follow.
• Contain clusters and outbreaks by identifying the source, advising isolation and source control, and closing the loop with infection prevention.
• Lower infection-related complications and readmissions among ICU, surgical, and immunocompromised patients through timely consults.
• Build reliable referral paths so complex cases reach you before they deteriorate.
• Make consult advice consistent across the service by coaching residents, APPs, and hospital teams on evidence-based plans.
• Report infection trends and stewardship results to medical leadership so practice changes are visible, not anecdotal.

Environment & Resources

You will practice on a multidisciplinary infectious diseases service with microbiology, pharmacy, infection prevention, and hospital medicine. Inpatient consults are balanced with outpatient follow-up. You will have APP support, an electronic record, and rapid diagnostic access, and you will partner with physician leadership rather than practice in isolation. Call is shared so stewardship and clinic time stay protected.
Essential Qualifications

• MD or DO with board certification or eligibility in Infectious Disease.
• Active medical license and eligibility for hospital privileges and DEA registration.
• A record of stewardship or infection-prevention leadership tied to measurable antibiotic or outcome change.
• Hands-on care of ICU, surgical, or immunocompromised patients, including outbreak or cluster response.
• Consult notes and bedside communication that change the plan the same day.
• Comfort teaching trainees and APPs while remaining accountable for the recommendation.

Role Selling Points

• Authority to shape antibiotic use, not a seat on a committee that only reviews charts after the fact.
• A mix of acute consults and longitudinal clinic so you see whether your plan worked.
• Partners in the lab and pharmacy who can act on your recommendations quickly.
• Protected time for teaching and stewardship alongside patient care.
• A service that is called early, when your judgment still changes the course.
