Pediatric Intensivist
The Division of Medical Critical Care, Department of Pediatrics
Boston Children's Hospital
The Division of Medical Critical Care within the Department of Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School is recruiting a pediatric intensivist with board certification/eligibility in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine.
This position is primarily focused on clinical care and supervision of advance practice clinicians, residents, and medical students in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) and the Pediatric Intermediate Care Unit (PIMCU) at Boston Children’s Hospital, and the inpatient units at Franciscan Children’s Hospital. Clinical time will be split approximately equally across the two hospitals. There will also be opportunity to expand interests in research, quality and/or leadership in conjunction with other Boston Children's faculty.
The Medical ICU is a 22-bed unit at Boston Children’s Hospital, a leading freestanding children’s hospital. We admit patients with a mix of acute medical critical illness including respiratory failure, sepsis, DKA, ingestions, metabolic disorders, pulmonary hypertension, renal failure, and GI bleeding. We also care for patients with acute on chronic critical illness and patients with technology dependence, admitted during decompensations.
The Pediatric Intermediate Care Unit (PIMCU), also at Boston Children’s, is a 24-bed unit that cares for patients with severe, acute illness who do not require advanced life-sustaining technologies that are specific to the ICU, as well as patients with acute exacerbations of chronic illness who have intensive nursing needs. The majority of children in the PIMCU have respiratory diseases such as severe asthma, viral bronchiolitis, or pneumonia. However, the unit also provides care for patients with a wide variety of non-respiratory diagnoses, such as diabetic ketoacidosis and other metabolic and neurologic conditions.
Franciscan Children’s Hospital is a 49 bed post-acute care hospital that cares for patients with complex medical and surgical conditions who require ongoing pulmonary, medical or intensive rehabilitation, many of whom are technology dependent and have complex discharge planning needs.
The position is eligible for an academic appointment at Harvard Medical School at the level of part-time Instructor or Assistant/Associate Professor.
We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions or any other characteristic protected by law.
