Nemours Children's Health is seeking to hire a full-time Pediatric Hospitalist to work at Nemours Children's Hospital - Delaware within the Division of General Academic Pediatrics, Section of Hospital Medicine.
The mission of the Division of General Academic Pediatrics is to provide superb healthcare to the children of the Delaware Valley; support the education and training of medical students, residents, and fellows within the Jefferson Health System and Nemours; achieve a national reputation for scholarship, service, advocacy, and academic excellence in the field of pediatrics; enable the academic careers of its faculty; and contribute directly to the population health of the regional community through outreach and collaboration.
The hospitalist position includes serving as the attending hospitalist on the general pediatric inpatient teaching service; managing patients and supervising pediatric and family medicine residents and medical school students; and serving as the attending physician on a non-teaching, co-management service caring for post-surgical patients and patients with medical complexity.
