Neonatal Hospitalist

Overview

The Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians (HMFP) at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) Department of Neonatology is seeking an experienced newborn clinician with strong clinical, teaching, and communication skills to serve as a Neonatal Hospitalist at The Cambridge Hospital, our community affiliate. The Cambridge Hospital, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital, serves a culturally rich yet underserved population with 1400 deliveries annually.

The Neonatal Hospitalist will provide direct clinical care to well newborns and their families and attend deliveries and stabilize acutely ill newborns in a Level 1b setting. The hospitalist will participate in clinical supervision and teaching of Harvard medical students and residents. Opportunities exist to participate in research and quality improvement.

The hospitalist will benefit from faculty membership in the BIDMC Department of Neonatology with access to colleagues, expertise, and resources of a large academic department while also practicing in a community hospital. BIDMC is at the core of Beth Israel Lahey Health (BILH), a combined hospital and physician group network comprised of an academic medical center, the Harvard Medical School affiliated BIDMC, teaching hospitals, and superb community hospitals, as well as primary and subspecialty outpatient care.

The BILH Neonatology Team, comprised of neonatologists, hospitalists and advanced practice providers, collaborates seamlessly to deliver exceptional care. Our robust network with 58 community-based intermediate level beds allows patients to receive care close to home while having uninterrupted access to more intensive support in our 62 bed level III NICU when necessary.

• Provide direct clinical care to well newborns and their families in a Level 1b setting.
• Attend deliveries and stabilize acutely ill newborns.
• Participate in clinical supervision and teaching of Harvard medical students and residents.
• Engage in opportunities to participate in research and quality improvement.
• Collaborate with the BIDMC Department of Neonatology and the BILH Neonatology Team to deliver high-quality care.

• MD or DO and Board Certification in Pediatrics or Medicine-Pediatrics with or without subspecialty Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine certification.
• Independent experience in newborn care and delivery room management is desired; less experienced candidates with a passion for newborn medicine and the ability to manage acute illness will be considered with supervised delivery training in a Level III NICU prior to independent practice.
