Pediatrician Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• MD or DO and completion of an ACGME-accredited pediatrics residency.
• Board certification or board eligibility in pediatrics, with a clear path to certification if not yet certified.
• Active state medical license, or eligibility to obtain one before start, and DEA registration as required for the practice.
• Demonstrated ability to manage a full outpatient panel, including newborns, school-age children, and adolescents with chronic disease.
• Current BLS and PALS, or willingness to complete them before independent practice.
• Evidence of clear communication with families and reliable collaboration with nurses and specialists.

Responsibilities

• Own a panel of pediatric patients and close care gaps so well-child visits, immunizations, and developmental screens stay on schedule.
• Diagnose and manage acute and chronic conditions in clinic, and decide same day when a child needs escalation, referral, or hospital care.
• Lead shared decisions with parents and caregivers so treatment plans are understood, followed, and adjusted when they are not working.
• Coordinate with nursing, behavioral health, and specialists so handoffs are complete and no critical result or referral is lost.
• Document visits accurately and on time so coding, quality measures, and continuity of care hold up under review.
• Improve one measurable outcome each year—immunization rates, asthma control, or no-show reduction—using the practice’s own data.
• Mentor advanced practice providers or residents when assigned, raising the quality of care they deliver independently.
