Let’s be honest: if you chose Infectious Disease, you probably enjoy puzzles more than procedures, antibiotics more than algorithms, and explaining why it’s not a UTI more times than you’d care to admit.
If that sounds about right, this Academic Infectious Disease Physician position might be your kind of medicine.
A respected safety-net health system is seeking a Board Certified or Board Eligible Infectious Disease Physician to join a collaborative and notably upbeat division. The team currently includes six full-time ID attendings and a part-time administrative physician, forming a group that’s young, diverse, supportive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the work.
This role offers a balanced mix of inpatient consults, outpatient HIV primary care, teaching, research, and program leadership, with the kind of clinical variety that reminds you why you chose ID in the first place.
You’ll see the full spectrum of infectious disease consults — from complicated hospital cases to the occasional diagnostic mystery that somehow finds its way to the ID service. You’ll also enjoy continuity of care through a robust outpatient HIV program and the opportunity to contribute to antimicrobial stewardship initiatives, infection control efforts, and community-based programs supported through multiple service grants.
An academic appointment within a respected NYC academic medical system is available.
And yes — the consults are interesting.
The Practice
This is a well-established Infectious Disease program with strong institutional support and a diverse patient population that keeps the clinical work engaging.
The outpatient clinic follows approximately 2,000 patients, with comprehensive HIV services and dedicated programs focused on counseling, testing, linkage to care, and community outreach.
You’ll rotate between inpatient and outpatient responsibilities, creating a healthy balance between consultative medicine and longitudinal care.
The division also maintains an active teaching environment, working closely with residents and trainees who handle much of the overnight triage before escalating issues to the attending physician.
Translation: your phone probably won’t ring unless it actually matters.
Schedule & Clinical Mix
The structure of the role is designed to keep the workload balanced and sustainable.
Physicians alternate between inpatient rounding and outpatient clinic weeks, allowing time for continuity of care, academic work, and research.
Typical Schedule
Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
One remote workday per week
Approximately 30% inpatient consults / 70% outpatient care
In practice, physicians report about 3–5 phone calls during a typical call week, with residents managing most initial questions and summarizing cases before escalating them to the attending.
Clinical & Academic Responsibilities
Physicians in the division participate broadly in clinical care, teaching, and program development. The role includes providing inpatient Infectious Disease consultations and outpatient HIV primary care while contributing to antimicrobial stewardship initiatives and infection prevention efforts across the health system. Attending physicians are actively involved in teaching residents and trainees and may participate in academic and research initiatives within the division. There are also opportunities to help lead and develop service programs focused on HIV counseling and testing, linkage-to-care initiatives, and community outreach efforts supported by several grant-funded programs within the department.
Is This For You?
This role is ideal for an Infectious Disease physician who enjoys both the clinical puzzle-solving side of the specialty and the academic mission of teaching and program development.
Candidates should have:
- Board Certification or Board Eligibility in Infectious Disease
- Interest or experience in HIV primary care
- Enthusiasm for teaching and academic collaboration
- A collaborative approach to working within a multidisciplinary team
Physicians who enjoy complex consults, stewardship work, and teaching the next generation of doctors why “just give vanc and zosyn” isn’t always the answer will likely feel right at home here.
