"General Pediatrician"

The Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at the University of Utah Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine has several openings for a General Pediatrician. The Pediatrician will provide direct patient care at the Pediatric Emergency Department and Observation Unit at Primary Children's Hospital's Salt Lake Campus (Salt Lake City, UT) and the Larry H. and Gayle Miller Primary Children's Hospital's Lehi Campus. Patient care includes the full range of illness and injury in children 0-18 years and beyond in particular chronic illness populations. The Pediatrician will work collaboratively with surgical and medical consultants in developing optimal plans of care and disposition plans. Consultative assistance to clinics and outside emergency departments is expected. All clinical care is to be documented in the electronic medical record of Intermountain Healthcare or University of Utah, and documentation finalized within 7 days or less of date of service (most documentation should be finalized within 48 hours of service). There are expectations for academic, education, and service work outside of clinical care that includes funded research, educational, advocacy, and administrative roles. Qualified candidates must be Board Eligible/Board Certified in Pediatrics. Selected candidates will receive a faculty appointment in the Department of Pediatrics on the Clinical or Tenure track at the academic level commensurate with experience and qualifications. The Department and University offers a competitive salary and an unmatched benefits program, including non-contributory retirement contributions of 20.2% of annual salary that vest immediately. The Department offers a faculty development and mentoring program designed to foster success in translational or basic research, quality improvement engagement, and excellence as educators.
