Phoenix Children's Hospital (PCH) is recruiting a Pediatric Rheumatologist. This is a unique opportunity to initiate and develop a Rheumatology division within Phoenix Children's Medical Group (PCMG). Arizona is one of 11 states that does not currently have a Pediatric Rheumatologist.

The position is expected to be predominantly clinical patient care although the successful candidate is expected to teach Pediatric Residents in our training program and medical students from the
University of Arizona. Research opportunity exists but is not mandatory. Collegiality, intellectual stimulation and cross-coverage will be in conjunction with the Arizona Arthritis and Rheumatology Associates (AARA).

Phoenix is now the fifth largest city in the US and continues to grow rapidly. PCH is the only free-standing children's hospital in Arizona; we opened our new 300 bed facility in 2002. PCMG employs approximately 70 physicians and 20 PNP's. We have strong relationships with other Pediatric Specialty and Surgical groups in private practice on our campus. The categorical Pediatric Residency has just expanded to 21 interns per year and we provide education to the Med-Peds Residency at Banner Good Samaritan (6 residents per year). Academic appointment is available through the University of Arizona. There is strong support for Pediatric Rheumatology from the Arizona Arthritis Foundation in addition to PCH and AARA.

PCH is an equal opportunity employer. Compensation is commensurate with training and experience with a competitive benefits package. Candidates must have or be eligible for medical licensure in the state of Arizona and be board eligible or certified in Pediatric Rheumatology. Welcome to Phoenix!
