Description

The Department of Pediatrics at the University of Virginia School of Medicine seeks an MD or equivalent Physician with subspecialty training in pediatric infectious diseases to join our Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases. We seek an exceptional clinician-educator or clinician-researcher with interests in infectious diseases in immunocompromised hosts and/or antimicrobial stewardship to join our division of five pediatric infectious diseases physicians. The successful candidate will be expected to be board-certified or board-eligible with a commitment to the clinical care of children with infectious diseases.

Charlottesville is a small city, but the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Service sees a very broad range of conditions. University faculty, families, and community members travel the world, and Charlottesville has welcomed new Virginians from numerous countries. The service routinely cares for patients with a wide range of infectious diseases, including travel-related, vector-borne, and host-related infectious diseases.

The Pediatric Infectious Diseases Service provides essential support to a very active solid organ transplant service, hematology-oncology service, a growing bone marrow transplantation service, and a large variety of surgical services including orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, and otolaryngology. In addition, the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Service staffs an infectious diseases referral and follow-up clinic and the Young Traveler's Clinic.

While this position is primarily clinical, there are abundant opportunities for a motivated and energetic candidate to develop additional research, service, quality improvement, teaching, or advocacy efforts. The University of Virginia is one of the nation’s leading public universities. Members of the Division are active in teaching medical, graduate, and undergraduate students.

For candidates interested in policy, implementation, education, cost-effectiveness, and the business of medicine, there are ample opportunities. Members of the Department of Pediatrics have worked with faculty and students in the nationally ranked Law School and UVA Darden School of Business, the UVA School of Education and Development, and the UVA Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. UVA Department of Pediatrics faculty have pursued advanced degrees from several UVA graduate schools.

UVA Children's Hospital has been recognized as Virginia's #1 children's hospital by U.S. News and World Report for six consecutive years and holds national rankings in nine subspecialties.
