Job description

Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrician

Springfield, IL, 12-Month Waitlist | Walk into Immediate Volume + Make a Real Impact

If you're looking for a busy, high-impact DBP role where you can actually move the needle this is it. This established program has a 12-month backlog for new patients, driven largely by autism and behavioral evaluations.

You won't be building from scratch, you'll be stepping into demand on day one.

What You'll Do

• Focus on autism, ADHD, and neurodevelopmental evaluations
• 3-4 new patients/week + 5-6 follow-ups/day
• 90-min new visits | 30-min follow-ups
• ADOS testing + behavioral assessments built into workflow
• Hybrid schedule (in-person + telehealth)

Why This Role Stands Out

• Immediate patient volume (no ramp-up period)
• 80/20 clinical + academic split
• Work alongside an established multidisciplinary team (psych, OT, speech, LCSW)
• Strong referral pipeline from early intervention + regional providers
• Ages 1-8 = highly focused, consistent patient population

Compensation & Perks

• $260,000+ base + productivity upside
• Negotiable Sign- On Bonus
• $10K relocation
• Generous PTO + sick time (accumulates)
• $3,500 CME + 5 days
• Full benefits + malpractice (tail coverage)
• State pension = long-term financial security

The Opportunity

This is a mission-driven, high-need market where developmental pediatricians are in short supply. You'll have the autonomy to practice meaningful medicine, the support of an academic environment, and the ability to truly impact access to care.
