Dartmouth Health Children’s and Geisel School of Medicine

The Department of Pediatrics, Section of Pediatric GI at Dartmouth Health Children’s, seeks an experienced Pediatric GI Advanced Practice Provider (Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant). This individual will work with members of the Pediatric GI section primarily in the inpatient and outpatient clinic.

Dartmouth Health Children’s provides an extended system of care with primary, specialty, and advanced tertiary pediatric services, including an inpatient pediatric unit with PICU, Level II Pediatric Trauma Center, and Level III NICU at its flagship Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (CHaD).  Dartmouth Health Children’s also operates a comprehensive ambulatory specialty center at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinic in Manchester, the largest city in the state, and 10 pediatric primary care medical homes across the region. Dartmouth Health Children’s is committed to addressing racism and other forms of oppression that prevent all children and adolescents from living their healthiest, happiest lives.

The successful candidate will conduct and document comprehensive initial and ongoing physical and neurologic evaluations and examinations, synthesize data and utilize evidence to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of patient care plans, including ordering and interpreting laboratory, radiological, and other diagnostic studies/results, and practicing with a significant degree of independence as part of a team.

The candidate will provide relevant management, referrals, counseling, and education to patients and families, caregivers, related to current care and preventive health measures, as well as facilitate/participate in quality related initiatives through planned group processes, workshops, seminars, conferences, and staff meetings, to improve clinical and system practice performance; collaborate in research projects and protocols; routinely apply evidence-based best practices to patient care, and additional activities as needed and based on interests.

Teaching residents and medical students is expected, so eligibility for appointment to the faculty at The Geisel School of Medicine is required, at a rank commensurate with experience and academic portfolio. Academic opportunities across Dartmouth's campuses include world-class traditional biomedical research, global health initiatives, and renowned leadership in quality improvement, outcome, and healthcare delivery sciences at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice.
