Job Description
ECU Health Physicians and ECU Health Ophthalmology-Greenville are seeking a mission-driven, visionary leader to join their growing Pediatric Ophthalmology program in Eastern North Carolina. As one of the only pediatric ophthalmologists for a region spanning 1.5 million people along the eastern seaboard, this opportunity offers a unique chance to make a significant impact on the local community and contribute to the development of a burgeoning academic division at ECU Health.
The ideal candidate will have a passion for advancing pediatric ophthalmology care, strong leadership skills, and a commitment to practice development within an academic setting. This is an exciting time for the division, which is part of the newly established academic division of Ophthalmology at ECU Health and the Brody School of Medicine.

A site visit for the residency program was conducted in January 2025, and the program anticipates welcoming its first class of 3 residents per year in 2026.
This position offers the opportunity to work in an innovative, collaborative environment while serving as a critical provider in a region with significant need for pediatric ophthalmology services. If you are passionate about both patient care and the advancement of academic ophthalmology, this is a truly exceptional opportunity.
