About The Position

The Division of Neonatal and Developmental Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine and Stanford Medicine Children’s Health is recruiting a neonatologist with strong clinical skills. The successful candidate will be appointed in the Clinician Educator line as a Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, or Clinical Professor, with academic rank determined by qualifications and experience. Clinician Educators are expected to demonstrate excellence in clinical care and medical education, with administrative and/or scholarly participation as program needs require. The position includes attending neonatologist responsibilities in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, California. El Camino Hospital’s Stanford-affiliated Community Level III NICU serves the South Bay and provides high-level neonatal intensive care, with in-house coverage 24 hours per day. The hospital averages 5,000 deliveries annually, including high-risk perinatal cases. The Stanford neonatology team also provides prenatal and pediatric consultations to the well-baby nursery, emergency department, and community. The NICU collaborates with Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital’s Level IV NICU and Stanford’s Johnson Center Fetal and Pregnancy Health Program. Patients needing surgery, ECMO, or more complex care are stabilized and transported to Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, and may return to El Camino before discharge. Subspecialty phone consultations and a full complement of on-site ancillary services are available. The Family Centered Care committee is nationally recognized for leadership in patient and family engagement. The role also involves staff education, peer review, hospital committee participation, quality improvement, development and updating of NICU policies and procedures, and participation in Perinatal Morbidity and Mortality conferences. Divisional research and teaching conferences take place virtually. Teaching opportunities at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital may include medical students, residents, and fellows. The Center for Advanced Pediatric and Perinatal Education offers opportunities to become and teach as an NRP instructor and to maintain clinical skills through high-fidelity simulation.
