Scott J. Weissman, MD
Professor Medical Director, Antimicrobial Stewardship Program
Dr. Weissman leverages clinical microbiology data to inform antimicrobial stewardship interventions in the inpatient setting. He has developed and supported programs to: manage complex urology patients with recurrent multi-drug-resistant infections; create Individualized Antibiotic Plans for patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation; de-label patients with penicillin allergy histories; and promote equitable utilization of outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy. Since 2015, he has also worked with the University of Washington’s Center for One Health Research to develop surveillance strategies and systems that provide for inference of molecular dynamics from pooled clinical microbiology data across Washington State.
