Pediatric Hospitalist Opportunity

Columbia, SC

Prisma Health Medical Group-Midlands Department of Pediatrics in Columbia, SC, is seeking a BC/BE pediatric hospitalist to provide care within our free-standing Children’s Hospital. The ideal candidate will be fellowship trained or have at least 5 years hospitalist experience within a Children`s Hospital.
