Dr. Matthew P. Kronman is Professor and Associate Vice Chair of Education at the UW Department of Pediatrics. His clinical time is split between inpatient Infectious Diseases consultations and the outpatient Infectious Diseases Clinic at Seattle Children's.

Outside the Division, he collaborates with researchers at the University of Washington and at other institutions on projects related to antimicrobial stewardship in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
