Pediatric Nocturnist
Enjoy work-life balance while living in beautiful Northern Colorado and choosing your own full-time schedule as a pediatric nocturnist!
The Youth Clinic has been providing exceptional pediatric primary care and hospitalist services in the Fort Collins area for 61 years. Our physician group currently offers around-the-clock hospital care for newborns and children at Poudre Valley Hospital (PVH) 24-7 365 days per year.
We are seeking a pediatric nocturnist to cover 10-14 night shifts (5PM-7AM) per month. This is a highly flexible position with the ability to choose your own schedule. 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). Schedule will include 2 weekend shifts per month.
Responsibilities include:
- Pediatric admissions, ER consults,
- Level 1 newborn care
- Oversight and teaching of medical student/family practice resident.
PVH is home to the only pediatric unit in northern Colorado with admissions/transfers 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.
The position offers $80-100 per hour and includes a generous benefit package including insurance and retirement. The start date is flexible, with a preference for winter 2026.
