Our division is comprised of 11 pediatric gastroenterologists, 3 nurse practitioners, 6 office nurses, 6 fellows, 4 administrative assistants and a specialty authorization specialist. We also collaborate with a team of dietitians, social workers, psychologists, and support staff with the shared mission of improving children's health. The motility and functional gastrointestinal disorders program has a dedicated procedure nurse and support staff. New state‑of‑the‑art motility equipment allows for the performance of esophageal, antroduodenal, colonic and anorectal manometries. We also have video capsule endoscopy and pH‑impedance probe capabilities and are finalizing our introduction of Endoflip and transnasal endoscopy. The GI Division includes programs for inflammatory bowel disease, eosinophilic GI diseases, celiac disease, aerodigestive disorders and a partnership with Interventional Radiology to manage children with severe protein‑losing enteropathy. Division members are actively engaged in clinical and quality improvement research and are heavily involved in education of residents, fellows, and providers across the region.

Additionally, the Complex Colorectal Program at Nemours Children's Health is a multidisciplinary collaboration between pediatric colorectal surgery, gastroenterology, urology, and gynecology that provides advanced care for children with anorectal malformations, cloacal anomalies, Hirschsprung disease, and refractory constipation.

We are seeking a candidate with a track record of leadership and provision of excellent clinical care. A successful track record of research is preferred, and a generous research package is available consistent with the record of success. The ideal candidate is a dynamic pediatric gastroenterologist with a passion for clinical excellence, teaching, and research to help establish a strong motility program.
