Job description

**Pediatric Gastroenterologist with expertise in Nutrition**

The Cleveland Clinic (CC) is recruiting a pediatric gastroenterologist with specific expertise in nutritional management to join the Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition at Cleveland Clinic Children's.

The ideal candidate is board certified/eligible in pediatric gastroenterology. Qualified applicants may have opportunities for clinical leadership within our department and nutritional support programs, tailored to their areas of interest.

Our well-established, collegial, and nationally recognized team includes fifteen pediatric gastroenterologists and an NIH-funded researcher focused on nutrition and the gut microbiome. We care for pediatric and young adult patients with gastrointestinal disorders at our main tertiary/quaternary care hospital in Cleveland, providing consultation services for patients and colleagues at community-based hospitals and outpatient campuses, including satellite locations and family health centers.

We have disease-specific nurse care coordinators, ambulatory nurses, dietitians, and a supportive administrative team. We also collaborate closely with a GI psychologist and pediatric social workers. Our department includes five pediatric transplant hepatologists and a specialist in hepatobiliary disorders, including fatty liver disease. We operate an active liver transplant program, including living donor transplants, and programs for small bowel, multi-visceral, and pancreas transplants. Our primary nutritional programs focus on intestinal rehabilitation and nutritional support, supported by a multidisciplinary team.

Our clinical dietitians collaborate on patient care, education, and research initiatives. We also have multidisciplinary clinics for metabolic/glycogen storage diseases, IBD, eosinophilic esophagitis, aerodigestive care, neurogastrointestinal motility, and pancreaticobiliary diseases. Our Children’s Hospital features a state-of-the-art endoscopy suite and motility lab with high-resolution equipment, along with a dedicated infusion center.

In addition to clinical care, faculty members engage in research (clinical, basic science, and translational), quality and safety initiatives, and medical education. Cleveland Clinic's research infrastructure supports investigator-initiated and industry-funded projects, with funding from internal grants, corporate partners, and external agencies including NIH. Our fellowship program graduates two fellows annually. Academic appointments are available through Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University. Collaboration opportunities exist with researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute and the Digestive Disease Surgery Institute.

Cleveland Clinic Children's is ranked among the top children's hospitals by U.S. News & World Report, with 329 beds at the main campus and three satellite hospitals. Our staff of over 300 physicians across 55 specialties provides extensive outpatient and inpatient services, including surgeries and transports. The Cleveland Clinic system was ranked 2nd nationally, and our Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition program is ranked 13th nationally, 3rd in Ohio, and the best in Northeast Ohio.

Our work environment is highly collegial within a large academic group practice. We offer a competitive salary, excellent benefits, and the chance to live in Cleveland—a vibrant, diverse city with excellent schools, cultural activities, sports, and parks. Cleveland is known for its arts district, theaters, orchestras, and outdoor recreation areas.

Interested candidates should contact Dr. Sandra Kim (Chair, Department of Pediatric GI, Hepatology, and Nutrition) at [e-mail] or Jennifer Friedler, Physician Recruiter, at [e-mail].
