Respect | Belonging | Accountability | Transparency

The Department of Inpatient Pediatrics at Denver Health Medical Center is seeking a Board Certified/Board Eligible Pediatric Critical Care Physician to join our team in a part-time (0.5 FTE) faculty position within our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).

Established in 1860, Denver Health is an integrated health care system, nationally recognized for its passion and commitment in providing exceptional care to a diverse patient population. Denver Health is considered a national model of an integrated urban safety net health care system which includes inpatient care, emergency services, community and school-based health centers, public health, and an insurance plan. Denver Health serves the Rocky Mountain region as a Level 2 Pediatric Trauma Center and a Level 1 Adult Trauma Center.

Denver Health is an integrated, high-quality academic healthcare system considered a model for the nation that includes a Level I Trauma Center, a 555-bed acute care medical center, Denver’s 911 emergency medical response system, 10 family health centers, 19 school-based health centers, Rocky Mountain Poison & Drug Safety, the Public Health Institute at Denver Health, Denver Health Medical Plan and Denver Health Foundation.

As Colorado’s primary, and essential, safety-net healthcare system, Denver Health is a mission-driven organization that has provided millions in uncompensated care for the uninsured each year.

Located near downtown Denver, Denver Health is just minutes away from many of the cultural and recreational activities Denver has to offer.

Denver Health is an equal opportunity employer (EOE). We value the unique ideas, talents and contributions reflective of the needs of our community. All job applicants for safety-sensitive positions must pass a pre-employment drug test, once a conditional offer of employment has been made. Applicants will be considered until the position is filled.

The Department of Inpatient Pediatrics includes a 10-bed PICU, 20-bed General Pediatrics service, Level III NICU, and Well-Baby Nursery. Denver Health also has a dedicated Pediatric Emergency Department and Urgent Care. Denver Health is a teaching affiliate of the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the Pediatrics Residency at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Denver Health physician faculty have academic appointments at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Education is a core component of our mission. Faculty serve as clinical educators for medical students, pediatric residents, and other learners. Denver Health is a highly sought-after training site for Children's Hospital Colorado residents because of its strong commitment to health equity, diverse patient population, and opportunities for graduated clinical autonomy. A CHCO Pediatric Chief Resident provides continuous on-site support, and senior residents rotating at Denver Health are selected based on demonstrated clinical excellence.

This position will add a sixth pediatric critical care physician to our collaborative division, which currently comprises four full-time equivalent providers. The providers in the group share daytime on-site PICU coverage with after-hours home call. When the PICU census is low, clinical duties may flex to include daytime staffing of PICU stepdown or General Pediatrics patients.
