Job Opportunity: Pediatric Gastroenterologist

Our organization is actively looking for board-certified or board-eligible candidates in Pediatric Gastroenterology to fill a full-time role within our Division.

The Department of Pediatrics at our institution is inviting applications for a Gastroenterologist to join our Pediatric Gastroenterology division, which currently comprises eight Pediatric Gastroenterologists and a Nurse Practitioner.

This division offers extensive gastroenterology and nutrition services to patients in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. Outpatient care is delivered through general gastroenterology clinics as well as specialized team center clinics that cater to patients with conditions such as intestinal failure (home TPN), enteral feeding tubes, inflammatory bowel disease, cystic fibrosis, chronic lung disease, spina bifida, home mechanical ventilation, and liver disease. Our Pediatric GI team center clinics are supported by a nurse specialist, dietician, social worker, and additional administrative personnel.

Our facility, including the Children’s Hospital, serves as a tertiary care referral center for the Inland Empire, covering Riverside, San Bernardino, Inyo, and Mono counties in Southern California. We feature a state-of-the-art endoscopy lab that conducts all endoscopic procedures, general motility studies, a bio-feedback program, IB Stim, breath hydrogen studies, and esophageal pH studies. Full-time anesthesia services are available for endoscopic procedures. While we do not have a liver transplant program, we collaborate with regional liver transplant centers for pre- and post-transplant care.

As a member of our division, the selected candidate will be responsible for:

• Providing clinical care to pediatric gastroenterology patients
• Engaging in teaching responsibilities for the Loma Linda University School of Medicine and the pediatric residency program

The ideal candidate should excel as both a clinician and educator, as our Children’s Hospital hosts a large residency program with 84 pediatric residents and 16 Med-Peds residents participating in the gastroenterology program. Preference will be given to applicants with experience or interest in motility disorders. There are numerous opportunities for both basic and clinical research.

The Inland Empire offers the benefits of Southern California living with more affordable living costs.

The starting base compensation range is between $256,850 and $299,650, adjusted based on years of experience and faculty rank. This figure does not include variable compensation or additional productivity incentives and is subject to departmental compensation plans. Further details regarding compensation will be discussed during the recruitment process.

Our benefits package includes:

• Generous Retirement Contributions
• Comprehensive Medical and Dental Coverage
• Competitive Vacation and Sick Leave
• CME Days and Funding
• Relocation Assistance (if applicable)
• Paid Malpractice Insurance
• Paid Life Insurance
• Loan Repayment Options (State & Federal, if eligible)
