Job Description

Pediatric Hospitalist - Thomas Campus & East Valley

Our organization is expanding its Division of Hospital Medicine and is looking for pediatric hospitalists to become part of our growing team. We invite physicians who are interested in pursuing careers in either academic or community hospital medicine, or those who wish to blend both paths.

Our Division comprises over 80 faculty members across four locations, each with varied interests in clinical care, patient safety, medical education, quality enhancement, research, and leadership. We are currently on the lookout for hospitalists for both the Thomas Campus and East Valley locations, offering hybrid roles that include both daytime and nighttime shifts, as well as dedicated nocturnist positions.

Attractive Night-Shift Compensation

All physicians working night shifts will receive a substantial additional stipend. Whether these night shifts are part of a hybrid schedule or a dedicated nocturnist role, physicians will earn extra compensation for each night worked. Those in the nocturnist position are also eligible for a competitive hourly differential.

Thomas Campus Overview

The Thomas Campus is a standalone children's hospital featuring a Level I Trauma Center and a wide range of pediatric subspecialty services. Hospitalists have ample opportunities to engage in patient safety initiatives, research, quality improvement projects, medical education, and program development.

Our academic setting includes an established ACGME-accredited two-year Pediatric Hospital Medicine fellowship, which currently hosts six fellows, and plays a significant role in the education of a large pediatric residency program. Faculty members hold academic positions at the University of Arizona, Creighton University, and the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine.

East Valley Overview

The East Valley location is a new freestanding Women & Children’s center in Gilbert, set to open in early 2027. This facility will feature a 24-bed pediatric unit, a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), a Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), a Pediatric Emergency Department, and comprehensive subspecialty support, with 24/7 in-house coverage by hospitalists and intensive care providers. Physicians can opt to work solely in the pediatric unit or focus exclusively on the newborn service if they prefer.

Newborn care will be provided in collaboration with Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, with no requirements for delivery attendance or NICU coverage. The East Valley site will also provide teaching opportunities for medical students, residents, and hospitalist fellows, making it an appealing option for those interested in a community-based practice with strong academic ties.

Join Our Expanding Division

We are in search of dedicated clinicians, leaders, scholars, and educators to join our vibrant Division of Hospital Medicine. With multiple clinical sites and a wide array of academic and leadership activities, there are excellent prospects for professional development and career progression. Ideal candidates include seasoned hospitalists and graduates of Pediatric Hospital Medicine fellowships. Applicants must be board eligible or board certified in General Pediatrics. We offer competitive compensation, benefits, paid time off, continuing medical education opportunities, and a generous night shift stipend for every night worked.

Why Choose Us?

Experience year-round outdoor activities, enjoy over 300 days of sunshine each year, and take advantage of the chance to live and work in one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country.

Interested candidates are encouraged to submit their CV and cover letter.
