This will be as a Complex Care provider for ages 2 and up, following graduation from the Infant Complex Care Clinic or when referred by another specialist or community pediatrician. Children will be followed throughout childhood and adolescence until transferred into adult care.

Depending on experience, the applicant will have the opportunity to assume a leadership role as Medical Director of the Pediatric Complex Care Program.

The clinic is housed in a spacious, newly renovated, handicap accessible location a short distance from Kentucky Children’s Hospital. Other clinics at this site include, Infant Complex Care, NICU Graduate, NICU Neuro, Pediatric Physical Medicine and Rehab, Child Neurology, Pediatric Neurosurgery, Developmental Pediatrics, and Palliative Care.
