Pediatrician: Inpatient & Outpatient - Boise, ID

Job Description

Job Description

Our organization is a physician-led multispecialty group with over 650 providers, actively seeking a board-certified or board-eligible physician (MD/DO) who is dedicated to a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to healthcare. This role involves working as a hybrid Pediatrician, dividing time between an outpatient clinic and the Newbornist service. Join a well-established, busy practice consisting of six physicians and three advanced practice providers, delivering exceptional care in a supportive environment, alongside our expanding inpatient pediatric hospitalist team focused on newborns and their families at our Boise facility.

Our child-friendly clinic is situated on the grounds of a regional Level II Trauma Center, conveniently located near Pediatric GI, laboratory, radiology, and other essential services.

This full-time position entails a 0.5 FTE commitment in the Pediatric Clinic and a 0.5 FTE role as a Pediatric Hospitalist. The staffing model includes 24-hour shifts in the Newborn Nursery, comprising 8 hours on-site and 16 hours on call, with the Neonatology Team serving as the primary on-call provider overnight. The clinic role follows a traditional workweek, balanced with hospital shifts. The call requirement is limited to parent calls only (with answering and triage services), on a 1:8 rotation basis.

The Family Maternity Center at our facility delivers over 1,200 infants annually and is supported by a highly qualified labor and delivery nursing staff, an OB Hospitalist service, 24-hour anesthesia coverage, and a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Our safety-focused team of OB/GYNs collaborates with on-campus Maternal Fetal Medicine specialists, Neonatologists, and genetic counselors to cater to the diverse patient population in the region. The postpartum unit features 16 private family rooms where infants can room-in with their mothers or intended parents. We provide excellent support through our team of lactation consultants, neonatal pharmacists, nutritionists, occupational therapists, social workers, and case management to address the unique needs of each family. Committed to practicing contemporary, evidence-based medicine, the Family Maternity Center and NICU teams adopt a family-centered approach, encouraging collaboration between parents and our expert staff in both Boise and Nampa units to achieve outcomes that surpass national benchmarks.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct shift-based rounding on newborn nursery patients, including physical examinations, completing history and physicals, daily progress notes, and discharge summaries, along with parent education and anticipatory guidance for well newborns.

• Coordinate hand-offs to the NICU team for overnight primary clinical management, transitioning to backup on-call provider for unexpected high acuity, census, or unique pediatric care needs.
