Immediate Infectious Disease Fellowship Opportunity – Southern Hills Hospital, Las Vegas, NV

Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada is home to the first ACGME-accredited Infectious Disease Fellowship Program in the state.

We recently launched our inaugural class and matched an outstanding fellow. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen personal circumstances, our fellow resigned—creating an opening for immediate entry into our program.

This isn’t just a vacant spot. It’s an invitation to step into a fully supported role in a brand-new program in the HCA Healthcare Graduate Medical Education Family (the largest provider of GME in the United States)—where you’ll receive dedicated 1:1 mentorship and help shape the learning experience of the program to tackle the challenges of modern medical education.

What Makes This Fellowship Stand Out?

• All-eyes-on-you training model: As our only fellow, your education is our sole focus.
• Academic leadership experience: Take the lead in teaching, rounds, and QI projects—your impact will be immediate and visible.
• Diverse pathology: Train in a multicultural medical environment with a broad spectrum of infectious diseases.
• Access to ID thought leaders: Collaborate with experienced faculty, many of whom are active in public health, research, state and national professional societies.
• Las Vegas lifestyle: No state income tax, great weather, and an affordable, exciting city to live in.

Ideal Candidate

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Eligible to begin ACGME-accredited ID fellowship training immediately (onboarding ideally within 3 weeks)
• Motivated, flexible, and eager to help build something meaningful
• Passionate about ID and committed to academic excellence
• Unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor visas at this time

Application Materials

Please send:

• ERAS application, including your CV
• Medical school transcript
• MSPE (Dean’s Letter)
• USMLE/COMLEX scores
• 3 letters of recommendation or reference contact info
• ECFMG certificate/status (if applicable)
• ACGME Program ID: 1463114001

We understand some documents may take time to gather—we’re happy to begin reviewing applications while materials are pending. Formal offers will follow institutional review.

We’re Moving Quickly

We are reviewing applications now and plan to interview and fill the position on a rolling basis—possibly within a week.

Please include our Fellowship Program Administrator, Joe Placheta (Joe.Placheta@hcahealthcare.com), in all correspondence.

If you’ve ever considered specializing in ID—or know someone who has—this could be the pivotal opportunity that launches a career in academic medicine, clinical excellence, and meaningful leadership.

We hope to hear from you soon.
