Physician / Genetics
About The Position
Children’s Nebraska, in affiliation with the University of Nebraska College of Medicine, is seeking a Board Eligible/Board Certified Pediatrician and Geneticist to join our growing program. Biochemical training is highly preferred. This is a clinically focused role with a blend of outpatient and inpatient coverage. Subspecialty interests are welcomed, with biochemical genetics experience and clinical trials being highly valued. The physician will work in a team-based care model alongside genetic counselors, counselor associates, metabolic providers, nurses, dietitians, and pediatric subspecialists, serving patients across the age spectrum (pediatric & adult). The practice model is sustainable, with an optimized clinic structure and an evolving call rotation that includes external biochemical genetics coverage as needed to support work-life integration. The physician will have opportunities to influence clinical protocols, quality improvement, and service design. While there are opportunities to teach within a primarily clinical environment with academic appointments through UNMC, the role is designed to offer teaching without a heavy academic burden. Research and scholarly opportunities are available. The physician will engage in quality improvement, guideline development, and program development aligned with national standards and best practices. With a faculty appointment in the UNMC College of Medicine, the physician will join a growing clinical genetics program that provides comprehensive genetics care across the lifespan and serves as a major regional referral center. Genomic diagnostics will be foundational, with a practice centered on phenotype-driven evaluation and interpretation of genetic and genomic testing to guide medical management, anticipatory guidance, and family counseling. The physician will deliver care across a broad range of genetic conditions and diagnostic questions in close collaboration with pediatric and adult subspecialty partners. The position offers a strong clinical base with flexibility to develop and grow individual interests, including opportunities to expand services, advance care pathways, and shape program growth aligned with the physician’s expertise and career goals.
