Description
Rare opening for a General Pediatrician hoping to find a long-term position at a respected, well-established general pediatric private practice with great work/life balance in the west Denver Metro region. We are a 6 provider office (3 MD’s, 3 PA’s) caring for a broad range of general pediatric patients from newborns to 19 yo’s.
Full time position: Clinical duties are 4 days/wk on weekdays, outpatient only.
Call duty is telephone coverage only, averaging 1 weeknight every 2 wks, and 1 weekend every 2 months, with nurse triage on first call.
No clinical office hours on weekends.
No late night urgent care hours.
No inpatient hospital rounds.
Our office deliberately sees lower patient volumes to enable a focus on delivery of thoughtful, high quality, evidence-based pediatric care with a goal of long term continuity. We have a friendly culture and we do our best to take care of each other. Our well-child care style includes pro-vaccine policies. Our office has a great location at the foot of the Rocky Mountains just west of Denver, in a region with strong support from pediatric specialists when needed. We collaborate with a part-time, in-house behavioral health therapist serving our patients.
We have a fantastic reputation with new patients joining the practice based on word-of-mouth referrals. Our patient population draws from a range of demographic backgrounds with significant subpopulations of medically complex patients as well as children of highly educated international graduate students at local universities. (Candidates fluent in Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, or Hindi would have opportunity to use their language skills on occasion.)
The position comes with a great benefit package including competitive base salary, full health insurance, disability insurance, life insurance, malpractice insurance, paid vacation, 401k plan with match (after 1 yr), CME funds, and an annual bonus based on productivity.
We have chocolate, too!
New physicians are placed on a track toward potential partnership within a few years.
