Loma Linda University Faculty Medical Group, Division of Pediatric Surgery, is seeking an additional BE / BC Pediatric Surgeon, preferably with credentials in Critical Care. This individual would be joining four other surgeons in a busy academic practice at LLUCH. 

We will be expanding into a new tower early August of 2021, but currently occupy a 242-bed children’s hospital with an 84-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with a concomitant large number of neonatal index cases, and a 25-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. LLUCH has had a pediatric surgery fellowship program since 2011, training one fellow every other year. All graduating fellows have achieved excellent jobs at named academic institutions. LLUCH has both an active neonatal and pediatric ECMO program, and is an ACS-verified Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center.

The division has a basic science research effort focused on the pathogenesis and treatment of NEC, and opportunities for additional clinical and basic science research are available. The division has been leading the ACS NSQIP project here at LLUCH for the last 2 years, and there are plans for ACS Children’s Surgery Verification in the near future.

There are approximately 1.2 million children in our referral base, which covers one fourth of the state of California, and is currently one of the fastest growing population centers in the country. The position offers a competitive salary and an attractive benefits package that includes paid leave for vacation,

Loma Linda typically experiences over 250 sunny days per year, and is within easy reach of beaches, mountains, snow skiing, golf, shopping, dining, sport venues, and cultural offerings. The local elementary and secondary schools have an excellent reputation.
