Faculty - Newborn Rounding Opporunity in Nebraska

Children’s Physicians, the primary care pediatric group for Children’s Hospital & Medical Center, is currently recruiting BE/BC Pediatricians for Nebraska to provide clinical expertise for our growing newborn rounding team.  This newborn hospitalist team supports the work-life balance of primary care providers who work primarily in clinics around the Omaha area and extends timely care to newborns delivered at regional non-Children’s Nebraska facilities.  Our newborn hospitalists have two teams that rotate between three hospitals, one team covers two community hospitals, and the other team covers the traditional academic hospital whereby students from Creighton University Medical Center and pediatric and family medicine residents from Creighton and UNMC rotate every month.  We are seeking a skilled pediatrician to provide routine newborn care, including procedures, such as circumcisions and frenotomies as requested or needed.

Children’s Physicians has 15 locations in the Omaha metropolitan area and a location in Kearney, Nebraska. Children’s Physicians serves as a true Medical Home with services such as social work, nursing case management, and behavioral health specialists.  Lactation services are provided inpatient at Children’s Hospital and our newborn hospitalist team partners with community lactation services at area hospitals and community centers to provide breast feeding education to families. Children’s Nebraska is a strong network of general pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists across all disciplines.

With a population of nearly one million, Omaha offers a delightful mix of the amenities, diversity, and cultural experience of a large city and friendliness of a smaller midwestern community. The city has been thoughtful and proactive in expansion and rejuvenation projects that boast running and biking trails throughout the city, restaurants, live music, as well as being a recurring host of national and Olympic level sporting events. Greater Omaha has an outstanding educational system of public and private schools and is home to numerous universities and colleges. All of this, combined with a diverse economy with multiple Fortune 500 companies, makes for an extraordinary quality of life.

We are committed to increasing diversity in our organization to reflect the population that we serve and encourage applications from all candidates who will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the institution.
