Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Division is recruiting for a BE/BC Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist for a full-time outpatient position. Qualified candidates must have completed an ACGME-accredited fellowship indicating advanced training in child and adolescent psychiatry.
Qualified candidates will be integral to the growth and expansion of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The outpatient program is a general child and adolescent psychiatry practice focusing primarily on internalizing disorders and comorbidities. There is also an emphasis on medically fragile children, and children with eating disorders. The successful candidate will, on a rotating schedule, cover the 12-bed inpatient unit and new consultations from the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital medical subspecialties. The Joe DiMaggio Emergency Department’s LCSWs evaluate the pediatric psychiatry patients; however, the Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists are called for assistance on occasion.
The outpatient department provides outpatient care for patients referred from the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital heart transplant and advanced heart failure programs, end-stage renal disease and kidney transplant programs, hematology/oncology, diabetes and gender-based endocrinology, and cystic fibrosis programs.
The successful candidate will work closely with a team of established child and adolescent psychiatrists, and report to the Medical Director of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Division. Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital is part of Memorial Healthcare System. The successful candidate will also be faculty in the general psychiatry residency training program. The Memorial Hospital System plans to develop an ACGME-accredited Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship training program. Opportunities for research exist and are encouraged.
This is a full-time employed position with the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, part of the multispecialty Memorial Physician Group. The position offers a competitive benefit and compensation package that is commensurate with training and experience. Professional malpractice and medical liability are covered under sovereign immunity.
About Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital
Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital is a 216 bed free-standing children’s hospital in Hollywood, Broward County, Florida located near Fort Lauderdale. The hospital recently underwent a 4-story vertical expansion to double the number of floors and continue to meet its commitment to providing the highest quality and safest care for children in the region. This expansion opened in November 2022 and includes a state-of-the-art Pediatric ICU, a new 20-bed cardiac ICU and step-down unit including new ORs with hybrid capabilities, three cath. labs and an interventional radiology suite. The hospital also expanded its surgical capacity with an addition of other new rooms and an interoperative MRI.
Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital is one of six hospitals that are part of Memorial Healthcare System, the third largest public health system in the country. Memorial delivers nearly 14,000 babies per year in three hospitals and has 120 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) beds – both Level II and III services (the state of Florida is in the process of creating a separate designation for Level IV care, for which JDCH qualifies).
Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital (JDCH) has robust high-risk and congenital programs including a US News and World Report ranked pediatric Cardiology and Heart Surgery Program, one of only two active programs in the state that does heart transplants. JDCH’s Orthopedic and Sports Medicine program is also ranked by US News and World Report as the top pediatric orthopedic program in Florida four years in a row and is one of the largest programs in the southeastern United States. JDCH also has robust Neurosciences, Hematology/Oncology and other general and specialized surgical programs (approximately 10,000 surgeries per year), and the area’s largest pediatric and neonatal transport team, which also does mobile ECMO. JDCH also houses the Center for Complex Care, which is a joint alliance with Boston Children’s Hospital.
JDCH serves over 375,000 children per year from around the state. Approximately 100,000 children are cared for in our three emergency rooms across the county per year. JDCH’s services continue to grow with the opening of the new specialty center/ambulatory surgery center in Palm Beach County in 2018 and a new ambulatory pavilion in Miramar, near Miami-Dade County which will open in 2023.
JDCH offers resources for academic pursuits, spanning from clinical research to basic science investigation via affiliations with nearby universities and through its Pediatric Institute for Discovery and Innovation (PIDI). JDCH has an established pediatric residency program and relationships with other hospital providers and universities for various other clinical training programs.
