Infectious Diseases Pharmacotherapy Fellow

The CHI St. Luke's Health-Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center/University of Houston College of Pharmacy Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Fellowship combines infectious disease clinical practice and research in a two-year program. The fellow is trained as a clinical practitioner in the Baylor St. Luke's Center for Antimicrobial Stewardship and Epidemiology (CASE) with patient care, monitoring, research and teaching components.

The first year will focus more heavily on clinical activities, similiar to an infectious diseases residency. The second year will have a more extensive research focus. An optional third year of research may be available for interested candidates. Research is conducted in collaboration with expert faculty researchers from the University of Houston College of Pharmacy.

A series of rotations designed to provide comprehensive learning experiences will be offered regarding advanced infectious disease pharmacotherapy issues. Experiences include, but are not limited to, pharmacokinetics/ pharmacodynamics, medical microbiology, antimicrobial monitoring, pharmacoeconomic issues with antimicrobial therapy, and infection control. Experientials with immunocompromised patients, critically ill patients, and general medicine patients are included.

The fellow is trained in healthcare informatics to support clinical decision making involved in optimizing clinical outcomes while minimizing unintended consequences of antimicrobial use.

The fellow will be required to engage in teaching and preceptorship of students during selected rotations.
