Job Description

Job Opportunity: Infectious Disease Physician

Our organization is excited to announce a full-time position for a Board Certified or Board Eligible Infectious Disease physician to join our expanding physician group practice at our facility in Pontiac, Michigan.

The chosen candidate will partner with our current solo Infectious Disease physician, laying the groundwork for what is envisioned to evolve into a larger practice at this site. We already have a well-established group at another location that collaborates 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.

Our facility is a 486-bed community teaching hospital and a Level II Trauma Center, catering to Oakland County and the surrounding areas of southeast Michigan. The diverse patient population reflects the rich socioeconomic and cultural variety of the greater Detroit metropolitan area, offering a wide range of clinically rewarding cases that align well with the full spectrum of infectious disease practice.

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