Reno Location Only
A native of Reno, Dr. Erik Jensen joined Infectious Diseases of Southern Nevada in 2023 after completing his Infectious Disease Fellowship at the highly regarded University of San Francisco Program in Fresno, California. Dr. Jensen has always wanted to return to his roots in the northern Nevada community especially after completing his Medical School Degree and Internal Medicine Residency at the University of Nevada, Reno programs. As an outstanding student, he was able to attend the combined Medical School and Bachelor of Science programs which allowed him to complete both his college and Medical School requirements in only seven years.
In addition, during this time, Dr. Jensen was honored as both a National Merit Scholar as well as the recipient of the Danish Society Dania Scholarship in 2014. This award is bestowed on a member of the Danish Society who excels in academia and volunteerism in both undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
Dr. Jensen is no stranger to both teaching, tutoring and volunteer opportunities throughout his medical career which have included instructorships at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. His affinity for the Veterans of our country also led him to participate in the government’s Veteran’s History Project and serving as an Attending Physician for the Veterans Administration in Reno.
Dr. Jensen is Board Certified in both Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases and participates in several antimicrobial stewardship programs in Reno hospitals. When not practicing medicine, he enjoys spending time with family hiking and ocean kayaking and learning about Danish Culture.
