The Department of Pediatrics seeks to hire an Adolescent Medicine physician to join the Adolescent Medicine Section in the Division of General Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine (GPAM) at the University of North Carolina. Applicants should be board-certified or board-eligible in Adolescent Medicine. This position is an open-rank, open track faculty position appointed in the School of Medicine at UNC Chapel Hill.

As a faculty member, this individual will join a section that includes board certified Adolescent Medicine physicians, nurse practitioners, LCSWs, and other pediatricians with interest in adolescent health. This individual will provide outpatient care at Raleigh and/or Chapel Hill clinical settings. Inpatient consultative care is delivered on an as-needed basis with plans for expansion as the section grows. Additionally, the Adolescent Medicine section includes opportunities to provide medical care at youth detention centers and a youth psychiatric inpatient facility. Members of the section also collaborate in a Hematology-Adolescent Medicine clinic to provide reproductive healthcare for patients with possible bleeding disorders and other hematologic issues; and with the UNC Center for Excellence for Eating Disorders, housed in the department of Psychiatry. There are also opportunities to expand to other outpatient specialty collaborative clinics.

In addition to clinical programs, the GPAM division has a nationally known and productive research program and faculty, in addition to a long record of teaching excellence. GPAM's division-wide research areas include the impact of social and contextual factors on health, childhood adversity, and health inequities. Research interests in the Adolescent Medicine section include evaluation of the impact of telehealth services on adolescent consent and confidentiality, use of adolescent-friendly decision-making tools related to contraceptive options, evaluation of factors impacting reproductive health autonomy in adolescents, global health and HIV prevention, and eating disorders quality improvement and treatment outcomes. The Gillings School of Public Health and the Sheps Center for Health Services Research also offer opportunities for broader adolescent health research. Faculty may also have medical education efforts, such as medical student and resident teaching, curriculum oversight, and rotation supervision.

The GPAM division is one of the largest divisions in the Department of Pediatrics and in addition to Adolescent Medicine includes Primary Care and Child Maltreatment.

The Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area of North Carolina is an attractive, vibrant, and family-friendly place to live and work with great quality of life, job markets, schools, and climate with both the mountains and the beach only a few hours away.
