Pediatrician hospitalist needed for GUAM,Mariana Islands (US Commonwealth) We have a 22 bed Peds ward; a 3 bed PICU, a 4 bed NICU, a 10 bed Intermediate Care Nursery, and a 16 bed Nursery plus rooming in on the OB ward. The Pediatric hospitalist averages 4-5 newborns and approx. one or two Peds pts./24hr call with the usual significant variation, especially of the newborn number often and of the Peds number when the seasonal illnesses peak. The Pediatric hospitalist position is all inpatient acute care and our current hospitalist covers two 24hr shifts/week. He is not required to remain in house but he is required to attend to those admitted pts. until discharge. The synergy of 3 or 3.5 Pediatric hospitalists should make the follow up care of admitted patients easier and allow for some "off" days that our current workaholic Pediatric hospitalist rarely enjoys.The Pediatric hospitalist should be able and willing to care for both NICU and PICU patients. The pay is currently 156K plus benefits.
