Pediatric Emergency Medicine – Assistant Medical Director – Austin, Texas

Why This Role Stands Out

• 12 hours daily APC support
• Dedicated pediatric OR, 8-bed med/surg unit, and 6-bed PICU
• 24/7 pediatric hospitalist and intensivist coverage
• Academic exposure with resident interaction
• Full-time schedule defined at ~120 hours/month for strong work-life balance

Compensation & Leadership Perks

• Competitive clinical compensation + year-end incentive
• Monthly assistant director stipend
• Sign-on bonus and night shift differentials
• W2 employed model with full benefits
• Paid malpractice with tail coverage
• Extensive CME and leadership development resources
• National network with clear long-term leadership growth potential

Why Austin

• One of the most sought-after cities for physicians nationally
• No state income tax
• Exceptional dining, music, and cultural scene
• Outdoor lifestyle with lakes, hiking, and year-round recreation
• Strong family-friendly neighborhoods and continued city growth

This is an ideal opportunity for a Pediatric Emergency Medicine physician ready to move into leadership within a well-supported, high-functioning pediatric ED while living in one of the most desirable markets in the country.
