Clinical Director of Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care
Portland, OR
Randall Children's Hospital in Portland, OR is currently recruiting a clinical director of pediatric cardiac intensive care to join and lead our close-knit team of 9 physicians and 2 APPs. This is a unique opportunity to provide high acuity care in our busy 24 bed non-academic tertiary care mixed unit. Leadership responsibilities include the development and expansion of our cardiac intensive care program which includes approximately 110 post op cardiac cases. We perform cardiac surgeries of all complexities as well as complex pediatric catheterization procedures in our Pediatric Cardiac Cath Lab/Hybrid Operating Rooms.
Clinical responsibilities include in house coverage of our mixed unit and at home call coverage as a second back up physician. Our ideal candidate would have strong cardiac ICU training and experience but enjoys caring for the general PICU population.
Our clinical services include ECLS, CRRT, advanced ventilator modalities including VDR ventilation, a busy pediatric critical care transport service, and provision of collaborative management with numerous pediatric surgical and sub-specialty services.
Randall Children's Hospital is a state-of-the-art, 9-story freestanding Children's Hospital affiliated with Legacy Emanuel Hospital. Our facility offers a large Children's Emergency Department, a level IV NICU, the region's only inpatient rehabilitation facility as well as a 24-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit with large private rooms that promote our ideal of family-centered care. The hospital has over 100 pediatric sub-specialty professionals in both medical and surgical areas, and has been verified as both a Level I Pediatric Trauma and Level I Pediatric Surgical center. Legacy Health System consists of seven hospitals, dozens of primary care and specialty clinics, a regional medical laboratory service, a research facility, and The Oregon Burn Center.
Our PICU participates in national quality databases, multiple quality projects and multi-institute research studies, and Randall Children's Hospital Foundation funding is available to support quality and patient-centered projects. The PICU is a current recipient of the Gold Beacon Award by the AACN for excellence in multi-disciplinary, collaborative, family-centered pediatric critical care. We also hold the ELSO award for Excellence in Life Support-Gold Level and are the recipient of the 2023 SCCM ICU Heroes Award.
Portland is a beautiful city offering diverse communities and unique cultural activities. Beautiful parks, waterways and more biking paths per mile than any other U.S. city promote an active and healthy lifestyle. In just over an hour the snowboarder can be riding at Mt. Hood, the surfer can be catching waves at Cannon Beach, and the windsurfer can be sailing in the Gorge. There truly is something for everyone in Portland.
