The Pulmonary Division at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, poised to expand to eight MD/DOs and four dedicated Nurse Practitioners by later this year, is focused on providing comprehensive care to a wide variety of pediatric patients. These include those with cystic fibrosis, tracheostomy/ventilation needs, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, aerodigestive conditions, and more.
With a strong clinical focus, the division is also nurturing an environment conducive to growth in research and academics. The main hospital campus serves as a hub of resources, including a pulmonary function testing lab. The seven satellite clinics maintain a robust referral system to the main campus, ensuring consistency and excellence in patient care across all locations.
Multidisciplinary clinics play a significant role within the division, owing to the diversity and complexity of patient cases. This multifaceted approach enables well-rounded, integrated patient care.
The ideal candidates for these roles will be collegial team players with an interest in research, who will find this clinical environment stimulating and rewarding. The division emphasizes cultural fit and a collaborative spirit. References are requested early in the recruitment process.
As the division continues expanding, ample opportunities for leadership roles are on the horizon. This makes it an ideal environment for pulmonary medicine professionals looking to elevate their careers while meaningfully contributing to the enhancement of pediatric healthcare. Candidates with a subspecialty in pediatric pulmonology with sleep medicine are in particularly high demand.
