***FILLED*** Neonatology Opening – Gulf Coast

Ranked as one of the nation’s Best Children’s Hospitals in Cardiology and Heart Surgery by U.S. News & World Report in 2017-2018, Pediatric Search Partners is seeking a Board Eligible/Board Certified Neonatologist for Ochsner Hospital for Children in New Orleans, Louisiana.

With the assistance of an experienced group of neonatal nurse practitioners, Ochsner’s team of board-certified neonatologists directs the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Ochsner Baptist Women’s Pavilion, which features 54 NICU beds, including private NICU rooms. The NICU carries a Level III regional designation – the highest level awarded by the state of Louisiana- and has long been commended for its innovative approach to caring for the sickest newborns.

At Ochsner, you’ll find an incredibly exciting opportunity to join a rapidly growing team of more than 120 physicians, including pediatric subspecialists and a full spectrum of pediatric medical and surgical subspecialty teams. The group is the region’s leading integrated provider of multispecialty care for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults offering a full range of pediatric services, including solid organ transplantation and pediatric cardiovascular surgery. In addition to the NICU, current facilities include a 26-bed PICU (14-bed Med/Surg and 12-bed CVICU), and a 35-bed General Pediatric Unit with a dedicated state-of-the-art comprehensive child development center opening in 2018. The Boh Center for Child Development will fill a critical need for specialized pediatric care in Louisiana and will be the only facility to offer this type of comprehensive care in the region under one roof.

Located in one of our most vibrant cultural cities, this nonprofit, academic, multi-specialty institution is the recipient of numerous awards, including Healthgrades’ Distinguished Hospitals for Clinical Excellence, which places Ochsner in the top 5 percent of U.S. hospitals for clinical outcomes. Ochsner also has a combined pediatrics residency program with Tulane University Medical School. Medical students from Tulane and the University of Queensland/Ochsner Clinical School rotate through the division. The successful candidate will be eligible for an academic appointment commensurate with experience.

New Orleans exudes a character all its own and offers a lifestyle that no other U.S. city can match. It’s home to an unparalleled blend of cultures. World-class music, dining and shopping are just the beginning. A city of neighborhoods, New Orleans is best traveled by foot, but you can also hop on one of the city’s historic streetcars or join the growing legion of commuters by bicycle. NOLA’s neighborhoods each have a distinct architectural flavor and include everything from traditional Antebellum style to historic bungalows and cottages to modern lofts. Professional sports, gorgeous city parks, year-round festivals, prestigious academic centers and universities, and Southern hospitality await you. The local economy is diverse, with oil and gas, tourism, shipbuilding and aerospace among the top industries, along with health care and education; several world-class colleges and universities are situated here. If you’re craving the beach, the Gulf Shores of Alabama are about two and a half hours away by car; and the white sands of Pensacola, Florida, are just three hours away. It’s easy to understand why residents take great pride in calling New Orleans their home. You’ll fall in love the minute you set foot here, both personally and professionally.
