Infectious Disease

Outpatients are seen by the infectious disease team in our offices at CHAM and at our new site at the Hutchinson Metro Center. The inpatient ID team includes an ID attending, a Pediatric ID fellow, an ID pharmacist, pediatric residents and senior medical students. Attendings and fellows are on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Inpatient rounds are conducted daily. In addition, the Infectious Disease team is available for telephone consultations to physicians in the region. Our ID team hosts a weekly clinical case conference in collaboration with the Medicine ID team, as well as numerous research conferences.

The Infectious Disease Division also leads a program in Infection Control, which focuses on the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections (nosocomial infections), antimicrobial resistance in our hospital and ambulatory settings. Consultations are by referral from primary physician or other specialty providers.
