Children’s Nebraska, with the University of Nebraska College of Medicine, is currently recruiting BE/BC Pediatric Intensivists. As our organization continues to grow, so does our division. We’re looking to add additional intensivists to our existing team. The ideal candidate would have an interest in research and/or leading quality improvement projects. Post fellowship experience for 2 years or more preferred.

  • The Pediatric Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) division support a 32 bed Pediatric ICU as well as a 32-bed Cardiac Care Unit, including both Cardiac ICU and cardiac step-down patients. We have a full complement of pediatric medical and surgical subspecialties. The faculty also support an 8-bed PICU at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, which is home to one of the largest solid organ transplant programs in the country.
  • Candidates must have a strong clinical background, with interest and experience with clinical or basic science research, and/or quality and safety initiatives. All faculty will be responsible for teaching medical students, residents and fellows. The candidate will join the PCCM division with existing 23 pediatric intensivists and hold a faculty position at the University of Nebraska College of Medicine.
  • The faculty are engaged in several areas of interest including transport, ECMO, palliative care, clinical and basic science research, and simulation. Research interests are strongly desired and supported. An intensivist-led sedation service is in the planning stages.
  • This is a unique opportunity with unlimited potential to advance a strong clinical and academic career in Pediatric Critical Care. Candidates will have excellent verbal, written and interpersonal communication skills. We seek individuals with strong emotional and social intelligence and a demonstrated ability to connect with others in a meaningful way at all levels of the organization and university.

Children’s Nebraska is a 225-bed nonprofit organization caring for children since 1948. Founded by the community and for the community, Children’s is the only full-service, pediatric specialty health center in Nebraska, providing expertise in more than 50 pediatric specialty services to children across a five-state region and beyond. As the region’s pediatric healthcare leader, we’re dedicated to exceptional care, advocacy, research and education. Our state-of-the-art Hubbard Center for Children is home to Nebraska’s only Level IV regional Newborn Intensive Care Unit, Fetal Care Center, the state’s only Level II Pediatric Trauma Center, a first-in-the-region Cardiac Care Unit, and more. The Child Health Research Institute, an innovative partnership between UNMC and Children’s Hospital & Medical Center, promotes research in pediatric health, consolidates research in pediatric disease from both hospitals into one institute, and advances knowledge about childhood health and diseases. It was established in 2017 and aims to assist investigators with start-up funding and infrastructure for clinical, basic science or translational research.

 

The health of a child is impacted by more than just the medical care they receive: it’s impacted by the community they live, learn, and play in. Our goal is to create communities that are safe and healthy and empower families to thrive. Whether we’re providing care for critically ill children or championing child-centered legislation, we strive to improve the lives of children, families, and entire communities.
