Job Summary

The Department of Anesthesiology, Division of Pediatric Anesthesiology has an opening for a part-time, per diem (hourly) at the faculty rank of Adjoint Senior Instructor. The chief responsibility of the department is to assure the best possible outcomes for our patients having surgical operations, painful invasive procedures, and childbirth. The University of Colorado affiliated hospitals have top, nationally recognized physicians delivering the best possible anesthetic care as well as a full range of perioperative care. The anesthesiologist provides specialized care to patients undergoing surgical procedures.

The primary clinical sites for this position are the Children's Hospital Colorado (CHCO) hospitals located in the Denver Metro Region. This premier hospital system, which has been highly ranked among pediatric hospitals for almost two decades, is a 600-bed tertiary care system, located along the front range of the Rocky Mountains. The flagship hospital is on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado with a level IV NICU and Level 1 pediatric trauma capabilities. With 4 hospitals, 16 network of care locations, and more than 500 outreach clinics in over 29 cities, the CHCO network serves the children of Colorado and the 6-state surrounding region.

Key Responsibilities

When working alone, he/she examines the patient before and after anesthesia, writes pre and post anesthesia orders, confirms that the patient is ready for anesthesia before induction, manages the anesthetic period, and follows patient as long as is appropriate in the post anesthesia period. As an attending anesthesiologist, the candidate may be required to perform these services in the operating room, in the labor and delivery area, in radiology, and in some special procedure areas. Except in specific emergency situations, the administration of anesthesia is limited to areas where anesthesia can be given safely. One or more attendings will be available at all times to provide these services.
