"Clinical Associates - Neonatology #PED222"

The University of Chicago’s Department of Pediatrics, Section of Neonatology, is seeking full-time general pediatricians 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 three years.

Appointees will provide neonatal services at one or more level II nurseries in the University of Chicago Medicine system. These positions do not require teaching or scholarly activity. Compensation is dependent upon qualifications. These positions are benefits-eligible. The University of Chicago offers a wide range of benefits programs and resources for eligible employees, including health, retirement, and paid time off. Information about the benefit offerings can be found in the Benefits Guidebook.

Appointees will collaborate with a dynamic team of neonatologists, neonatal nurse practitioners, pediatric residents, nutritionists, and neonatal pharmacists, providing care under the supervision of the attending neonatologist. Responsibilities include daily patient care activities such as pre-rounding, presenting patients, order writing, addressing clinical problems, and communicating with parents and consultants. Following skills evaluation and, if necessary, additional training and support, appointees will perform standard neonatal procedures, attend high-risk deliveries, and perform neonatal resuscitations.

At our level II nurseries, appointees will attend deliveries, perform neonatal resuscitations, stabilize infants for transport, and manage infants whose acuity allows them to remain at their birth hospital.
