Full description
Details & requirements for this opportunity:
- Specialty: Pediatric Hospitalist
- Requirement: Physician (MD/DO)
- Location: California
- Job settings: Inpatient
- Coverage Required: 06/25/2026 - Ongoing
- Schedule: Call Only
- Credentialing Timeframe: 30-60 days

- Other details: The hospital stroke-certified facility is looking for a provider to cover beeper call only. This is a Pediatric Hospitalist inpatient call-only assignment requiring a clean clinical file with no malpractice history or NPDB issues, as candidates with non-clean profiles will not be considered or cleared. The coverage consists of 24-hour beeper call shifts (6:00 AM to 6:00 AM) during multiple date ranges including June , July 2 7, July , and July 30 August 1. This role does not include guaranteed hours or standard overtime hours, and compensation is structured around 24-hour call coverage, orientation, and call-back rates. Physicians will be responsible for inpatient pediatric hospitalist coverage with a strong emphasis on neonatal care and emergent stabilization. Required clinical skills include neonatal airway management including intubation, management of neonatal air leaks and pneumothorax including needle decompression, emergent umbilical venous catheter (UVC) placement in the delivery room, UVC/UAC line placement, lumbar puncture, and EKG interpretation, with preferred experience in ventilator management and neonatal chest tube insertion. Candidates must hold an active California medical license, DEA certification, and be Board-Certified or Board-Eligible within 3 5 years of residency completion, along with current NRP certification. Providers must demonstrate at least 2 years of recent hospital-based clinical activity in pediatrics, and any gaps greater than 3 months must be clearly explained, with updated CVs including full hospital affiliations and case logs required upon submission. The role reflects a high-acuity neonatal-focused inpatient setting where procedures outside the newborn period (such as central line placement, chest tubes, and intubations) are typically managed by ED physicians or anesthesia teams, underscoring the need for strong neonatal procedural competency.
