Job Description

Position Overview

Job Posting Note: Our organization is on the lookout for an Allergist/Immunologist to become a part of our dedicated team within the Division of Allergy and Immunology. This role is tailored for a physician specializing in immunology or inborn errors of immunity.

The selected candidate will collaborate with a team of 11 providers, which includes 7 physicians and 4 advanced practice professionals, at our main hospital and its satellite locations. We serve a diverse patient base across the East Valley, Southwest Valley, and Northwest Valley, making our practice both busy and expanding. Our patient demographic encompasses a wide range of conditions, from common allergic issues to intricate cases involving allergies and primary immunodeficiencies. Currently, two physicians are leading our immunology initiatives, both in inpatient and outpatient settings, which include participation in specialized clinics such as the Immunohematology Multi-disciplinary Clinic and the 22q Multi-disciplinary Clinic. Adding a third immunology-focused physician will help us better serve the needs of patients in Phoenix and its neighboring areas.

Education plays a vital role in this position, as our clinic is involved in training rotating pediatric residents. Additionally, we have established a partnership with a renowned medical institution for a combined Allergy/Immunology fellowship. Physicians will have the opportunity to work alongside fellows and engage regularly with Allergists/Immunologists through various academic activities, including Grand Rounds, Case Conferences, and Journal Clubs. Faculty appointments are available through the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine, the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix, and Creighton University School of Medicine.

Moreover, our clinic is actively engaged in clinical and translational research focusing on areas such as food allergies, eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, and asthma. We encourage candidates with a keen interest in contributing to research initiatives.

The staff physician will deliver patient care services and uphold our organization’s mission of providing hope, healing, and exceptional healthcare for children and their families.
