Hospital Medicine Clinical and Research

Overview

The Division of Hospital Medicine at Cincinnati Children’s has a successful history of quality improvement, translating evidence into practice, family-centered care, and leadership in education and research. Drs. Patrick Brady and Karen Jerardi lead the division which includes:

• 55 faculty and staff physicians
• a 3-year fellowship in PHM with 9 fellows
• additional team members of 15 research coordinators, a data analyst, advanced practice providers, and administrative assistants

The Division provides care to more than 7,000 patients each year at 2 campuses including:

• general hospital medicine teams
• a complex care team
• two co-management services for surgical inpatients
• consultation for adults with complex healthcare needs admitted at Cincinnati Children’s by Med Peds physicians

We provide individualized career development through mentoring, career development committees, and participation in and leadership of quality improvement, education, and research efforts. We focus on team science and encourage collaboration. Our division averages more than 100 peer-reviewed publications per year with most faculty publishing a peer-reviewed paper each year. Cincinnati Children’s has a number of internal grant mechanisms, and the division receives over $2.9M in direct federal grant support per year.

As a team, we value inclusion and recognize the importance of an inclusive physician workforce providing care for our patient population, and we invite you to consider one or more of the following opportunities:

Experience should include demonstrated skill in managing patients with acute illness and complex medical and surgical conditions. Experience as a pediatric hospitalist, teaching of medical students and residents, and leading quality improvement projects are not required but are differentiating factors.
