Pediatric Hospitalist, Stem Cell Transplant and Oncology

The Stanford Department of Pediatrics is committed to advancing the health of infants, children, and adolescents through innovative medical care, research, education, training, and advocacy. With over 400 pediatricians and pediatric subspecialties, our department is one of the largest in the Stanford University School of Medicine. Ranked among the top in the nation by US News and World Report, we attract medical students, interns, postdoctoral scholars, residents, fellows, and faculty from around the world. We offer broad-based training in general pediatrics, critical care and pediatric subspecialties within a variety of ambulatory, inpatient and community settings. Integrated with our educational activities, these programs provide hands-on learning to equip our graduates with the skills they'll need as future advocates of children's health.

The Department of Pediatrics is a dynamic, stimulating place to work and because we are focused on growth and improved excellence, our faculty and staff have particularly challenging and rewarding roles.

The Division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine/ Stanford Medicine Children’s Health is recruiting experienced full-time or part-time Pediatric Hospitalists to cover our Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant and Oncology patients at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCHS). The successful candidate will be appointed as a Clinical Instructor, Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, or Clinical Professor in the Clinician Educator line. The major criterion for appointment as Clinician Educators is excellence in the overall mix of clinical care, teaching, administrative and/or scholarship appropriate to the programmatic need the individual is expected to fulfill.

Academic rank and line will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate.

The Division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine is one of the fastest growing pediatric Divisions at Stanford University. We are not only looking to positively impact children’s health in Palo Alto, but also the region. We have 90+ physicians managing sick children throughout 6 different hospitals in the area. When we are not active with patient care, our Hospitalists hold many leadership roles throughout various hospital committees to help ensure we are providing safe and excellent clinical and patient-centered care.

We are creating hospitalist specialty tracks for those interested in doing subspecialty hospitalist patient care, particularly, Stem Cell Transplant and Oncology. We are looking for physicians who have a special interest in the clinical care aspects, as well as improving the quality and care delivery for these subspecialty patients.
