Save Job

Overview PM Pediatrics is the largest pediatric urgent care network in the country. The company was founded and is led by PEM physicians with a mission to provide an alternative for children who would otherwise seek emergency care. We are academically driven, with the nation’s first Pediatric Urgent Care Fellowship program, a national annual conference and a fertile base for research. PM Pediatrics is set up like an ED but in a private practice setting with x-ray and lab services on site, great support staff, specialty consultations when necessary (i.e. plastic surgery, orthopedics), and high acuity with a diverse case mix. The work schedule is flexible with no overnights.
