The Baylor College of Medicine Department of Pediatrics seeks an outstanding physician to join our Pediatric Hospital Medicine (PHM) division as a Nocturnist at Christus Children’s. Physicians interested in joining the PHM division must be committed to education, collaboration and excellence in patient care.

Through the partnership with CHRISTUS Health System and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), Christus Children’s is the first and only freestanding, academic, not-for-profit children's hospital in San Antonio and serves as a focal point for pediatric services throughout the community.

The PHM division consists of thirteen pediatric hospitalists, two fellows and administrative coordinator. We provide 24/7 in-house coverage and clinical responsibilities include:  inpatient management of patients on the general medicine wards, consultation or co-management services to various sub-specialty services, and care of normal newborns. There is full coverage of pediatric specialists and pediatric surgical services with BCM and Christus Children’s. Additional duties include active teaching of our PHM fellows, BCM pediatric residents, medical students and outside rotators. Our team takes primary ownership of many hospital-based operations including: family-centered care, quality and process improvement and patient safety initiatives. For interested faculty who wish to begin or continue clinical research, The Voelcker Clinical Research Center at Christus Children’s is available to meet your needs.

As the nation's seventh-largest city, San Antonio is known for its history and blend of cultures.  Located in south central Texas, San Antonio has 300+ days of sunny weather, mild winters, and an affordable cost of living.  The city has much to offer with diverse employment opportunities for spouses, excellent public and private schools, the San Antonio Riverwalk, Alamo, professional basketball and soccer teams, dynamic cuisine, two major amusement parks, and an extensive urban park system.

Qualified applicants must have an MD/DO and we prefer BE/BC in Pediatric Hospital Medicine. The rank and appointment will be determined by the candidate’s credentials and experience. Candidates should submit a curriculum vitae and letter of interest by email to: miriamg@bcm.edu.
