About The Position

Nemours Children’s Health is hiring a casual/per-diem Pediatric Hospitalist at Nemours Children’s Hospital – Delaware, within the Division of General Academic Pediatrics, Section of Hospital Medicine. The position includes serving as the attending hospitalist on the general pediatric inpatient teaching service, managing patients, and supervising pediatric and family medicine residents and medical students. The physician also serves as attending on a non-teaching co-management service for post-surgical patients and patients with medical complexity. A seasonal non-teaching service has been implemented to support acuity and high census demands.

The section provides coverage seven days a week on a rotational basis and includes general pediatric hospitalist physicians, medicine-pediatric hospitalist physicians, and general pediatric hospitalist APRNs. Physicians work an hours-per-year schedule consisting of weeks and weekends, night shifts, medically complex service, and non-teaching service; hours and schedules may change according to staffing needs. There is a weekday night hospitalist rotation in-house until midnight. Future implementation of 24/7 overnight coverage will carry an expectation to participate in that coverage.

Physicians are expected to apply for and obtain academic rank at Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University. Section physicians participate in teaching, mentorship, academic scholarship, education, clinical research, advocacy, and quality improvement. The section also supports two Pediatric Hospital Medicine fellows each year.
