We are transforming the care delivery system with a design focused on eliminating health disparities and improving outcomes for patients in our community and beyond.

We are seeking a board-certified/board eligible pediatric hospitalist.  Fellowship training and or board certification in pediatric hospital medicine desirable.  As a member of an academic health system for children, the faculty member will be involved in further developing the inpatient curriculum and serving as a teacher and mentor to pediatric residents and medical students.
