Infectious Disease Physician Jobs

An Infectious Disease Physician specializes in diagnosing and managing infections. They focus on diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Their work involves understanding how these infectious agents spread, their effects on the human body, and how to control and treat these infections. They work in various healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics, and public health agencies, often in conjunction with other healthcare professionals. They could also be involved in research or teaching, and they may assist in outbreak investigations, preventing hospital-acquired infections, and infection control.

Before becoming an Infectious Disease Physician, an individual could undertake roles such as a General Practitioner, Internal Medicine Resident, or Pediatrician. The role requires specialized knowledge and skills including strong analytical abilities, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work well in a team. They must be able to deal with uncertainty and make decisions based on a mix of evidence and clinical judgment. Certifications required include a medical degree (MD or DO) and board certification in Internal Medicine followed by a fellowship in Infectious Disease. Some physicians may also have additional certifications in tropical medicine or HIV care.
