Position Description UCSF School of Medicine and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals. Division of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Pediatrics. HS Clinical Faculty Series.
The Division of Critical Care Medicine at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals and the Department of Pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) are seeking dedicated hospitalists to join our teams in the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (PCICU), Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), and Transitional Care Unit (TCUP). Appointments will be at the Instructor or Assistant Professor rank within the Health Sciences (HS) Clinical faculty series, commensurate with experience and training.
Position Overview:
The selected candidates will join a leading academic medical center and an established training program, contributing to the Department of Pediatrics' mission of excellence in research, education, and patient care.
Role:
Provide direct care to critically ill infants, children, adolescents, and adults in the PCICU, PICU, or TCUP. Each faculty member will be primarily assigned to one unit, with opportunities to cross‑train and provide coverage in other areas depending on interests and operational needs.
Key Responsibilities
Serve as a frontline clinician during both day and night shifts under the supervision of Pediatric Critical Care Attending Physicians.
Perform procedures (e.g., intubation, central and arterial line placement, sedation) with appropriate supervision.
Participate in the management of complex patients, including those requiring artificial life support such as ECMO and VAD.
Collaborate within a multidisciplinary team including cardiothoracic surgeons, nurse practitioners, residents, fellows, and faculty.
Attend and contribute to educational conferences, quality improvement initiatives, and research opportunities if desired.
Minimum Qualifications
MD or equivalent degree.
Licensed or eligible for licensure in the State of California.
Board‑eligible or board‑certified in Pediatrics.
Preferred Qualifications
Current certification in Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS).
Strong interest in a career in academic pediatrics, specifically pediatric critical care and/or pediatric cardiology.
Excellent clinical communication and teamwork skills.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Ideal for Early‑Career Physicians: Excellent opportunity for recent pediatric residency graduates looking to gain experience in high‑acuity settings while exploring career paths in pediatric critical care, cardiology, or other acute care specialties.
Robust Clinical Experience: Work alongside expert faculty to care for complex patients, including congenital heart disease, and develop procedural and diagnostic skills in a supportive teaching environment.
Flexible Scheduling: Shifts include both daytime and overnight coverage. Open to discussing scheduling preferences, including interest in night coverage.
Collaborative Environment: Part of a team that values professional development, mentorship, and collaboration across disciplines.
Position Availability: Seeking three faculty for the PCICU team and one for the PICU/TCUP team. Additional moonlighting opportunities may be available.
Compensation For positions that are 51% effort or more: The posted UC salary scales set the minimum pay determined by rank and step at appointment. Minimum base salary range $114,100–$170,000. Includes membership in the health sciences compensation plan.
For positions that are 50% effort or less: Minimum base salary range $81,500–$121,400.
