Job description

The Division of Neonatal and Developmental Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine/ Stanford Medicine Children’s Health is recruiting a neonatologist with strong clinical skills to join our team. The successful candidate will be appointed to one of the following: Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, or Clinical Professor in the Clinician Educator (CE) line. The major criteria for appointment as Clinician Educators is excellence in clinical care and medical education, as well as participation in administrative and/or scholarly work depending on programmatic need.

Academic rank will be commensurate with the successful candidate’s qualifications and experience.

This CE faculty position will include clinical responsibilities as an attending neonatologist in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, California. The El Camino Hospital (ECH) NICU is a world class, Stanford affiliated, Community Level III NICU that provides high level neonatal intensive care services to the South Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. El Camino Hospital has an average of 5000 deliveries per year, including those that require high risk perinatal obstetrical/ maternal fetal medicine services. Our Stanford neonatology team at El Camino also provides prenatal and pediatric consultation services to the well baby nursery, the emergency department, and the community. Medical students, general pediatrics residents, and specialty fellows from Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital rotate through ECH.

The El Camino NICU collaborates closely with the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) Stanford Level IV NICU and the Johnson Center Fetal and Pregnancy Health Program at Stanford. The El Camino NICU provides exceptionally high-quality Level III critical care with in house coverage 24 hours/day. The ECH Family Centered Care committee is nationally recognized for its leadership in patient and family engagement. Neonatologists at El Camino Hospital have access to phone consultation services with subspecialists at LPCH and a full complement of ancillary services is available on site. Patients requiring surgery, ECMO, or more complex care are stabilized and transported to the LPCH NICU, and may return to the El Camino NICU prior to discharge home. The Stanford faculty at El Camino also participate in staff education, peer review and other hospital committees, quality improvement efforts, NICU policy and procedure creation and updates, and Perinatal Morbidity and Mortality conferences at El Camino. Additionally, divisional research and teaching conferences are conducted virtually, and teaching opportunities at LPCH are possible with medical students, residents, and fellows. Our Center for Advanced Pediatric and Perinatal Education provides opportunities to become and teach as an NRP instructor and to maintain clinical skills through high-fidelity simulation.

Requirements for this position include:

• Eligibility for a medical license in the state of California.

• Board certified or board eligible in neonatal-perinatal medicine.

• Experience working in clinical settings with critically ill, preterm neonates including proficiency with related procedures.
