Herc-Higher Education Recruitment Consortium

The Division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine is seeking to add a pediatric hospitalist to provide patient care and serve as a clinician educator. Faculty pediatricians in this division improve the health and lives of children in Indiana and the Midwest United States through excellence in clinical skills, communication and collaboration, teaching, service and outreach, and scholarship. 

Founded in 2002, this pediatric specialty division provides care at Methodist Hospital, IU Health North Hospital, IU Health West Hospital and Riley Hospital for Children. These four facilities are the Indianapolis base of the IU Health hospital system, Indiana's largest comprehensive health center. In service at these facilities, Pediatric Hospital Medicine faculty provide a range of care, spanning delivery room and neonatal care to tertiary care management of pediatric patients.

This is a full-time position with opportunities to practice at any of our four previously mentioned locations and procedures include (but not limited to): lumbar puncture, circumcision, high-risk delivery attendance, newborn care, staffing PICUs and NICUs. Shifts are organized in 12-hour blocks, may be split between days and nights, total 141 shifts per year. Holidays and weekends are evenly distributed among all faculty and some opportunities for additional moonlighting are available. As a clinical track faculty member with the Indiana University School of Medicine, there are expectations of: teaching on service (pediatric residents and PHM fellows), participation in departmental educational endeavors, and encouragement to participate in scholarly pursuits.

The Department of Pediatrics at IUSM/Riley Hospital for Children is a 398-member faculty that is consistently within the top 10 pediatric departments in NIH funded research in the United States and has 19 Fellowship programs. There is a new large pediatric clinical research center, a new pediatric outpatient center dedicated to general pediatrics and neurodevelopment related divisions in pediatrics, genetics, and psychiatry. There are also State-of-the-art laboratories in a dedicated pediatric research building, a clinical research center, a well-functioning biobank, six T32 fellow training grants and one K12s that support research in the Department. Our nationally recognized Division of Children's Health Research is available for collaboration and as a resource for combined fellowships with the pediatric hospitalist program. The Department also has research relationships with the Regenstrief Institute in Health Informatics. Pediatric Radiology and Pediatric Neuroradiology are strong research partners. 

IU School of Medicine is the largest medical school in the country with more than 20,000 living alumni and 3,000 learners. Its diverse faculty is made up of 2,700 full-time members and 3,200 volunteer faculty who are responsible for training medical, graduate and postgraduate students. IU School of Medicine is the only allopathic medical school in Indiana. In addition to the flagship campus in Indianapolis, the school has eight campuses in communities that range from urban hubs like Gary to rural communities such as Terre Haute, allowing learners to experience medicine in all settings. 
  
As the nation's largest medical school, IUSM is committed to being an institution that not only reflects the diversity of the learners we teach and the patient populations we serve, but also pursues the values of diversity, equity and inclusion that inform academic excellence. We desire candidates who enhance our representational diversity, as well as those whose work contributes to equitable and inclusive learning and working environments for our students, staff, and faculty. IUSM strives to take an anti-racist stance, regularly evaluating and updating its policies, procedures, and practices to confer equitable opportunities for contribution and advancement for all members of our community. We invite individuals who will join us in our mission to advance racial equity to transform health and well-being for all throughout the state of Indiana.
