Pediatric Hospital Medicine Complex Care Pediatrician - Locum

Description

The Department of Pediatrics, Section of Pediatric Hospital Medicine (PHM), is seeking a short-term locum Pediatrician to join our Section of clinical and academic colleagues from April 1, 2025 until December 31, 2025. This position will support clinical service gaps primarily related to admitting and caring for our Complex Care Program patients within our PHM on service. The work model includes both inpatient and outpatient care. And will be primarily Monday to Friday during the days, though some weekend and night coverage might be intermittently required.  There may be opportunity to extend this locum work, depending on whether the gap in clinical care coverage persists after Dec 31/25.

The Section of Pediatric Hospital Medicine provides comprehensive, tertiary inpatient acute and complex care to children in Southern Alberta, SE British Columbia and SW Saskatchewan; a catchment area of approximately 3 million people. We provide 24/7 inpatient coverage for approximately 80% of hospitalized medical patients, excluding the PICU, NICU, Psychiatry and Oncology units. The successful applicant will hold a clinical appointment in the Department of Pediatrics, with Alberta Health Services as well as a faculty appointment with the Cumming School of Medicine.  

The Section of Pediatric Hospital Medicine holds the aspirational vision of championing exceptional care for hospitalized children and youth, especially those who are the most vulnerable populations.  We have academic members with expertise in Research, Quality Improvement and Medical Education and we launched an academic Pediatric Hospital Medicine Fellowship in July 2018. Our clinical members have diverse interests and support the academic mission of the Section. We are a very cohesive and collaborative group, while also celebrating diversities amongst us, which are viewed as a strength.

The Department of Pediatrics has over 300 clinical and academic faculty members who are part of the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary.
