The rapidly expanding Hospitalist Medicine Program at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is seeking a Pediatrician/Pediatric Hospitalist to join our team as a Staff Physician. Our Hospitalist Program is set in a world-class medical environment and allows for hands-on patient experiences covering a full range of hematologic and oncologic diagnoses. We are recruiting highly motivated individuals who enjoy both inpatient and urgent care practice to join our program. The Hospitalist Medicine Program includes approximately 14 physicians and 12 advanced practice providers, many of whom are board certified in pediatric hematology/oncology. In this role, you will treat patients on the inpatient units (night shifts) and in our on-site outpatient acute care clinic (24/7). We offer a flexible schedule with approximately 14 shifts per month (shifts are 9-12.5 hours). This position may work weekdays, weeknights, and/or weekends. As an integral member of the hospitalist team, you will work with nursing staff, advanced practice practitioners, hospitalist colleagues, primary oncologists, and subspecialty physicians to ensure quality clinical care for St. Jude patients. Night coverage includes multiple hospitalist providers with Pediatric Intensive Care support also available in-house 24/7. Top subspecialty and surgical support are available on home call each evening. Members of the Hospitalist Program are active in medical education, quality and patient safety initiatives, clinical education of trainees, and clinical research. St. Jude is a 78-bed hospital sitting on a beautiful, 80+ acre campus in Memphis, TN. Memphis is a family-friendly metropolitan area recognized for its world-class music, food, and hospitality. Cost of living is one of the biggest attractions; in fact, Money listed Memphis as one of the least expensive cities in which to raise a child. Mild winters and beautiful green spaces are part of the reasons why Forbes recently named Memphis the 4th happiest city in which to work.
