The section chief will join 7 other like-minded academic pediatricians and help shape innovative and equitable primary pediatric care and education at HDVCH. AGP is the primary continuity site for 80+ residents (includes categorical pediatrics, medicine-pediatric and child neurology residents) and cares for a diverse population of patients from metropolitan Grand Rapids.
Candidates for the position must enjoy leadership and mentoring preferably with previous clinical experience. The new section chief will be supported by active pediatric residency core faculty members and assistant program directors who are amongst the physician team at AGP. The section chief will receive administrative time to guide quality, educational and business outcomes for the practice. In addition to administrative efforts, the new section chief will spend approximately 50% of their clinical time precepting residents and 50% of their clinical time providing care to their own panel of pediatric patients.
There is also an opportunity to join a smaller cohort of AGP physicians who will be partnering with HDVCH pediatric psychology in their multidisciplinary autism assessment center. The new chief will obtain MSU faculty appointment commensurate with academic goals and experiences and can anticipate access to support for academic, quality and scholarly projects.
