Phoenix Children’s and the Division of Hospital Medicine are seeking pediatric hospitalists interested in careers in academic hospital medicine or community hospital medicine as we continue to expand our clinical programs and advance our academic endeavors.  Our Division, composed of over 50 faculty across two sites, nurture a variety of clinical, educational, quality improvement and research interests. 

Current recruitment efforts are focused on filling hospitalist positions at both our Phoenix Children’s – Main Campus and our community site, Phoenix Children’s – Mercy Gilbert. Open positions include both standard and nocturnist positions with a shift differential available for nocturnists.

Phoenix Children’s – Main Campus is a freestanding children’s hospital with a level 1 trauma center and comprehensive subspecialty care. There are many opportunities to take part in research, quality improvement and educational endeavors. We host an established, ACGME accredited 2-year pediatric hospitalist fellowship program with a total of 6 fellows and play an integral role in medical education for Phoenix Children’s large pediatric residency program. Our faculty also hold academic appointments at the University of Arizona, Creighton University and Mayo Clinic School of Medicine.

Phoenix Children’s – Mercy Gilbert is a freestanding Women & Children’s center in the East Valley opening in Fall 2023. This site will have a 24-bed unit with both a PICU and Pediatric Emergency Department, as well as comprehensive subspecialty support and 24/7 in-house coverage by hospitalists and intensive care providers.  Newborn care is also provided in partnership with Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert Medical Center (no delivery attendance or NICU coverage required). Teaching opportunities of medical students, residents, and hospitalist fellows will also be available.   

We are looking for committed clinicians, leaders, scholars, and educators to join our dynamic Division of Hospital Medicine. Opportunities for career advancement are outstanding. Ideal candidates for these positions include experienced Hospitalists and fellowship graduates. 

Phoenix and its surrounding communities have experienced significant population growth while still maintaining a favorable cost of living compared to the other largest metro areas. Year-round sunshine, abundant scenic desert landscape, and access to every possible cultural and recreational and spectator sports activities are other advantages of living in the Phoenix Valley area.

This position offers competitive compensation, excellent benefits, including employer retirement contribution, generous vacation/meeting time, CME funds, health and dental benefits, disability, and life insurance.  All candidates must be general pediatric board eligible/certified.
