Clinical Associates - Part-Time Neonatal Hospitalists #PED197
The University of Chicago

Description

The University of Chicago's Department of Pediatrics, Section of Neonatology, seeks general pediatricians at 10% effort to join our multidisciplinary care team at the University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital NICU as Clinical Associates with renewable terms of up to two years. Appointees will provide neonatal services at one or more of our level II nurseries in the University of Chicago Medicine system. These positions do not require teaching or scholarly activity. Compensation is dependent on qualifications and does not include benefits.

Appointees will collaborate with a dynamic team of neonatologists to provide superior and compassionate care. Our hospitalists work as a team member on one of our clinical services, delivering care to a variety of sick newborns, alongside neonatal nurse practitioners, pediatric residents, nutritionists, and neonatal pharmacists, all of whom are providing care under the supervision of the attending neonatologist. Daily patient care encompasses pre-rounding on patients, presenting patients on rounds, writing orders, dealing with clinical problems as they arise, as well as speaking with parents and consultants. After skills evaluation and, if necessary, additional training and support, appointees will perform standard neonatal procedures as indicated, attend high risk deliveries, and perform neonatal resuscitations.

At our level II nurseries, appointees will attend deliveries and perform neonatal resuscitations and stabilize infants for transport. In consultation with the attending neonatologist, appointees will also manage infants whose level of acuity allows them to stay at their hospital of birth.

Prior to the start of employment, qualified applicants must: 1) have an MD degree or equivalent; 2) have completed an ACGME-approved pediatric residency; 3) be board certified/eligible in general pediatrics; 4) have or be eligible for permanent State of Illinois medical licensure.

We especially welcome applicants with experience equivalent to one year of post-graduate work in a Level II NICU or one of higher acuity.

To be considered, those interested must apply through The University of Chicago, Academic Recruitment job board, which uses Interfolio to accept applications: http://apply.interfolio.com/153015. Applicants must upload a CV. Review of applications ends when the positions are filled.
