Pediatric Infectious Disease Physician

Join our team of passionate, supportive, and seasoned Pediatric Infectious Disease Physicians at Children's Minnesota! The Infectious Diseases program at Children's Minnesota is excited to welcome a fellowship-trained Pediatric Infectious Disease physician to our dynamic and close-knit group.

The Pediatric Infectious Disease program includes nine dedicated physicians and one dynamic nurse practitioner and boasts a strong collaborative approach where clinical practice, decision making, and sub-specialty interests are encouraged. The ID program cares for children with acute and chronic infectious disorders in the greater area of Minnesota and western Wisconsin, as well as those from eastern North Dakota and northern Iowa.

The Pediatric Infectious Disease group practices at Children's Minnesota's two hospital-based sites in Minneapolis and St. Paul. These sites include large neonatal and pediatric ICUs and a large and growing Cardiovascular ICU with a heart transplant program. Additionally, Children's is home to Minnesota's primary perinatal and pediatric HIV care program.

Providers are responsible for inpatient and outpatient infectious disease consultations and ongoing care for patients with a broad variety of acute and chronic infectious conditions. Work collaboratively with talented hospitalist medicine and emergency medicine providers along with a full complement of pediatric medical and surgical specialists. Additional partners include a robust Immunology program, which includes 2 physicians and 1 nurse practitioner.

The Pediatric Infectious Disease group serves as principal participants in the Antimicrobial Stewardship program, which includes 1 dedicated provider from the team, a dedicated Pediatric Infectious Disease PharmD, and a multidisciplinary working committee. The ID group also works closely with the Infection Prevention and Control team, with one dedicated provider who provides clinical consultative expertise. The group also works closely with the Value and Clinical Excellence department by engaging in quality improvement projects, including clinical guideline development.

The Children's Hematology and Oncology program is expanding to CAR-T therapy in the coming years, and particular expertise and interest in the infectious disease interface with these patients is desired.

Children's serves a diverse patient population and is committed to continuous improvements in equity and diversity, including high-level leadership and institutional support. The diverse population includes several large immigrant populations, which also provides a rich environment for practice involving global health and travel.
