Job Description

Our organization is excited to announce a full-time opportunity for a Board Certified or Board Eligible Infectious Disease physician to become part of our expanding physician group practice at a community hospital located in Pontiac, Michigan.

The chosen candidate will collaborate with our current solo Infectious Disease physician, establishing a partnership that aims to develop into a larger practice in the future. We already have a well-established group at another location that works closely with our physician here.

This role primarily focuses on inpatient care, complemented by an outpatient component that includes one half-day clinic each week. The practice benefits from the support of a dedicated ID/antimicrobial stewardship pharmacist and a comprehensive pharmacy department. Our electronic medical records system is Epic EMR.

The hospital is a 486-bed community teaching facility and a Level II Trauma Center, serving Oakland County and the surrounding areas of southeast Michigan. Our diverse patient population reflects the rich socioeconomic and cultural variety of the greater Detroit metropolitan area, offering a wide range of clinically rewarding cases suitable for comprehensive infectious disease practice.

This position also provides teaching opportunities for Internal Medicine residents and medical students, with the possibility of an academic appointment.
