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

The Department of Pediatrics at our institution is expanding and seeks to welcome a new Gastroenterologist to our dedicated team, which currently consists of eight Pediatric Gastroenterologists and a Nurse Practitioner.

Our Pediatric Gastroenterology division offers extensive gastroenterology and nutrition services to patients in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. We provide outpatient care through general gastroenterology clinics and specialized team center clinics that cater to patients with:

• Intestinal failure (home TPN)

• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Cystic fibrosis
• Chronic lung disease
• Spina bifida
• Home mechanical ventilation
• Liver disease

Our Pediatric GI team center clinics are supported by a nurse specialist, dietician, social worker, and additional administrative personnel.

Our medical center serves as a tertiary care referral facility for the Inland Empire, covering Riverside, San Bernardino, Inyo, and Mono counties. We boast a state-of-the-art endoscopy lab that offers a full range of endoscopic procedures, general motility studies, a bio-feedback program, IB Stim, breath hydrogen studies, and esophageal pH studies. A full-time anesthesia service is available for endoscopic procedures.

• Delivering clinical care to pediatric gastroenterology patients

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 region provides all the benefits of Southern California living while maintaining affordable living costs.
