Job Description

New York Children's Medical Provider Services (NYCMPS), the NY based physician group associated with Connecticut Children's, is seeking multiple BC/ BE pediatricians to fill immediate openings for a new expansion within our academic pediatric hospitalist network. The Division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine is expanding care for the community in our close-to-home strategy, and creating tremendous growth and opportunity for career advancement, including leadership opportunities.

The Hudson Valley of New York boasts a terrific quality of life. From hiking, biking, and boating, to cafes, art galleries, and local farmers markets, this beautiful suburban location offers a wide array of four season recreational activities. Excellent housing and outstanding public and private schools can be found throughout the region. The Mid-Hudson Valley is also home to many fine colleges and universities, including Vassar College, Bard College, Marist College, SUNY New Paltz, and the Culinary Institute of America. Only 75 minutes north of New York City, the area offers easy commuter access to the city via Metro North and Amtrak rail lines. Our vibrant cities and picturesque villages interweave culture, history and recreation in one of the country's most livable locations

Our physicians enjoy a competitive compensation package, along with a generous benefits package. Our benefits include Health, life, vision, dental and disability insurance, 403(b) with an annual matching program, continuing medical education allowance, and professional liability insurance, as well as support and payment for mandatory license/s and hospital credentialing.

Connecticut Children's and NYCMPS are committed to diversity in the workplace, which begins with respect and opportunity for all. Connecticut Children's takes affirmative action to ensure that equal employment opportunity is provided to all persons regardless of race, religious creed, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, age, ancestry, veteran status, disability or any other basis that would be inconsistent with any applicable ordinance or law.

New York Children's Medical Provider Services provides a salary range to comply with New York laws on salary transparency in job advertisements. The salary range for this role is $185,900.00 to $245,300.00 annually.
