Job at a glance
Job description
We are seeking a Board-Certified Pediatric Pulmonologist for a 6-month locum assignment at a leading children's hospital in Illinois. This is a full-time role with a well-balanced split between inpatient and outpatient care, minimal call burden, and a collaborative, provider-friendly interview process.

Minimal Call Disruption: Call is required for both weeknights and weekends, but physical callbacks are extremely rare (0–4 times per year), with no phone triage—giving you peace of mind after hours.
-
Supportive, Streamlined Interview Process: Interview virtually with the Chair and Vice Chair first. If you're not local, travel will be arranged for an in-person visit with department leadership.
-
Balanced, High-Impact Schedule: You'll spend approximately 30 hours/week on inpatient consults (mostly post-PICU) and 10 hours/week in the outpatient clinic, caring for complex but rewarding pediatric cases in a 671-bed hospital. EMR is Epic, and support is strong.

-
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

-

Coverage: Full-time (4 weeks/month, 40-hour workweek)
Patient Volume & Setting:
-
Outpatient: 8–10 patients per day
-
Inpatient Consults: 1–4 per day (post-PICU focus)
