Division of Infectious Diseases Faculty
Meet our infectious disease experts
Our Division of Infectious Diseases faculty take a team-based approach to addressing all types of infectious diseases. We work across disciplines, institutions and the region to diagnose, treat, and prevent infectious diseases.
We are also recognized leaders, advancing the field through clinical innovation, research, education and collaboration with community providers and public health agencies.
Our ID faculty are:
- National leaders in antibiotic use guidelines and antimicrobial stewardship
- Trusted partners to Oregon Health Authority, county health departments, community clinics and the Portland VA Medical Center
- Mentors to fellows, residents and other trainees
- Invited speakers at national and international meetings on infectious diseases
What sets us apart
Our faculty members are known nationally and internationally for their work on infectious diseases.
- We offer the only transplant infectious disease expertise in Oregon
- We are designated a Center of Excellence for Antimicrobial Stewardship by the IDSA and a Bronchiectasis and NTM Care Center Network Center of Excellence by the COPD foundation
- We offer a nationally recognized outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) program
- Infectious Diseases faculty work closely with Addiction Medicine (IMPACT team), OPAT nursing and pharmacy teams and multiple services across OHSU to create multidisciplinary care models, such as the OPTIONS-DC conference for patients with serious infections and substance use disorders.
- Multiple faculty members hold appointments in the OHSU–Portland State University School of Public Health, where a multidisciplinary research group supports ID projects and trainee scholarly work.
- Our division is highly collegial. We promote work-life balance for faculty and trainees, supporting time off, hobbies and family life as keys to long-term professional success.
