Dr. Jason Bowling is an Assistant Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio. After completing residency in Internal Medicine, he worked as a hospitalist in private practice for five years before returning to fellowship to pursue subspecialty training in Infectious Diseases. He joined the Division of Infectious Diseases faculty in 2010. Since joining, he has maintained an active role as a clinician. He rotates as the attending faculty physician on the inpatient Infectious Diseases consult service, the inpatient HIV medicine ward team, and the Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy Clinic for which he is also the Medical Director.

In addition to seeing patients both in the hospital and clinic, his work has involved hospital epidemiology, infection prevention, antibiotic stewardship, and medical education. He is the Hospital Epidemiologist and has served as the Medical Director for Infection Control and Prevention and the Chair of the Infection Control Committee for University Health System (UHS) since 2010. He holds an appointment at Texas Biomedical Research Institute, which maintains an active biosafety level 4 laboratory, where he provides subject matter expertise on infection prevention and clinical infectious diseases.
