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. 

Although independent experience in newborn care and delivery room management is desired, less experienced candidates with a passion for newborn medicine, an affinity for the delivery room, and experience managing acute illness will be considered.  In this instance, the applicant will receive supervised delivery training in our Level III NICU prior to community-based independent practice.  

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.

Appointment as an Instructor or Assistant Professor at the Harvard Medical School will be commensurate with experience, training and achievements in addition to teaching activities.  Applicants will be expected to provide clinical supervision and teaching of medical students and residents.  An MD or DO and Board Certification in Pediatrics or Medicine-Pediatrics with or without subspecialty Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine certification is required.

The Department encourages applications from diverse candidates of many backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences. We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions or any other characteristic protected by law.
