Child Abuse Pediatric Faculty Leader

Now Hiring | Regional Director, Child Abuse Pediatrics University of South Florida — Tampa, FL

Every day, children across West-Central Florida need someone in their corner. That person could be you.

USF's Child Protection Team — one of Florida's most established CPT programs with 30+ years of history — is seeking a senior physician to step into a regional leadership role with real autonomy, a strong team, and lasting impact.

Why this role stands out:

• Lead, don't start from scratch. Step into a Faculty appointment and Regional Medical Director role with a mature infrastructure, policies, and multidisciplinary relationships are already in place. You shape what comes next.
• A team you can trust. Supervise a large, highly experienced APRN workforce that manages most frontline evaluations — freeing you to focus on leadership and complex cases.
• Academic depth + statewide reach. Access USF's research infrastructure and Florida's multi-site CPT network for meaningful scholarship opportunities.
• Regional clinical authority. Function as a recognized expert within Florida's state-mandated Child Protection Team system.
• Premier institutional partnership. Close collaboration with Tampa General Hospital / Muma Children's Hospital — the region's only Pediatric Level I Trauma Center.

Compensation built for leaders:

• Competitive salary benchmarked to AAMC & MGMA standards
• Structure that values leadership and consultation - not just volume
• Sign-on/retention bonus available
• Sovereign immunity as a State of Florida employee
• Excellent benefits, retirement, CME, and generous PTO

You're a fit if you are:

• MD or DO; BC/BE in Pediatrics, Family Medicine, or Emergency Medicine
• Experienced in Child Abuse Pediatrics (fellowship preferred, not required)
• A collaborative leader ready to mentor, supervise, and build
• Senior candidates preferred — all qualified candidates encouraged to apply

And Tampa Bay? It delivers.

No state income tax. Waterfront living. Year-round sunshine. World-class arts, professional sports, and a major international airport. This isn't a stepping-stone market - it's where academic careers are built and stayed.
