Position Description:

The incoming pediatric endocrinologist will be providing care to patients in an outpatient only environment. The candidate will have the opportunity to work full-time within the clinic and be responsible for all general, pediatric endocrinology duties. The practice has a referral base of over 30 pediatricians. The state-of-the-art clinic is located on our new Medical Campus, across from our new Hospital, which will open in late 2023. The clinic has the following services offered on-site: testing center and a treatment and infusion room. Growth hormone testing is currently being done at the hospital across the street.

The incoming pediatric endocrinologist will be afforded a flexible schedule that equates to 36 patient care hours and 4 hours for administrative duties. The typical schedule is Monday through Friday, 8 AM - 5 PM. The clinic sees annual outpatient volumes of 3000 for pediatric endocrinology. On average, each pediatric endocrinologist is scheduled for 12-16 patient visits daily. The provider’s patient mix is made up of about 30% new patient visits and 70% patient follow-up visits.
