Pediatric Hospitalist

Enjoy work-life balance while living in beautiful Northern Colorado and working 14 shifts per month as a pediatric hospitalist! 

 

Currently our physician group provides hospital care for newborns and children at Poudre Valley Hospital (PVH) 24-7 365 days per year. We are seeking a physician to 7 days (7AM-5PM) and 7 nights (5PM-7AM) per month. This is a unique position as the physician may not need to be present in the hospital for the entirety of all shifts (dependent on admissions and acuity of inpatients). Duties will include morning bedside rounds, pediatric admissions, ER consults, level 1 newborn care, and medical student/family practice resident oversight and teaching. PVH has the only pediatric unit in northern Colorado; admissions/transfers come from a wide catchment area including northern Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska. We do not have a pediatric ICU so all children needing ICU level care are typically transferred to Children’s Hospital of Colorado in Denver. PVH has a level III NICU staffed by neonatologists and NNPs; we do not cover newborn deliveries.

 

Start date is flexible though would prefer winter 2025-2026.
