The Baylor College of Medicine and Christus Children's Hospital are seeking to recruit three additional Board-certified/Board-eligible Pediatric Critical Care Medicine physicians for the Division. The Division of Critical Care currently consists of 7 full-time ICU physicians and 7 advanced practice providers. We are staffing up to a total of 10 full-time PICU physicians. We care for critically ill children in the 26-bed multidisciplinary PICU and Pediatric Cardiac ICU. The division also staffs the 14-bed intermediate care unit (IMC). We currently have a strong group of clinicians who are excelling in their areas of interest, including research, transport, ECMO, education, and simulation. Our focus is to recruit faculty candidates with extra training in cardiac critical care, neuro critical care, and significant research background.
Clinical work will be within Christus Children's Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. Critical care physicians will actively participate in educating and training residents and medical students. In addition to clinical care, participation in medical education, quality improvement initiatives, and scholarly activity is strongly encouraged. Christus Children's serves as the only freestanding, tertiary subspecialty regional referral and pediatric care center for the San Antonio and South Texas regions. Christus Children's offers 200+ pediatric beds, including a main campus ER, Level III Pediatric Trauma Center, 2 freestanding ERs (totaling 100,000 visits/year), and a 60-bed Level IV Neonatal ICU. The potential for research activity is available via numerous local funding sources, in conjunction with the Christus Children's Max and Minnie Tomerlin Voelcker Clinical Research Center, which houses core laboratory and other functions.
