Charlottesville is a small city, but the range of infectious diseases that the Pediatric Infectious Service sees is very broad. University faculty, families, and community members travel the world, and Charlottesville has welcomed new Virginians from a very large number of countries. The service routinely cares for patients with wide-ranging infectious disorders, including tuberculosis, malaria, trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, leptospirosis, and many tick-borne and insect vector-borne diseases. The service serves as a regional resource for information concerning pediatric infectious diseases, and members are often called upon to serve in a public education role, with press interviews and television appearances on local, regional, and national distribution outlets, particularly in connection with new outbreaks, epidemics, and public education related to pediatric infectious diseases and their prevention.

The Pediatric Infectious Disease

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 that can involve infections, including orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, and otolaryngology.

It also helps manage an outpatient antibiotic therapy (OPAT) service. While this position is primarily clinical, there would be abundant opportunities for a motivated and energetic candidate to develop additional research, service, quality improvement, teaching or advocacy efforts.
