Description

Ranked again as one of the nation's Best Children's Hospitals in five specialties by U.S. News & World Report in 2019-2020 and recognized in 2019 as one of the nation's top 10 children's hospitals in patient safety and quality by The Leapfrog Group, we’re seeking BC/BE Clinical Geneticists with a background in Pediatrics to join the growing team at one of the largest free-standing children’s hospitals and fastest-growing pediatric healthcare networks in the country, Valley Children’s Healthcare, in Madera, California.

This position offers a highly competitive compensation package including signing bonus and relocation as well as loan repayment and/or fellowship stipend.

This is an exciting opening with a growing clinical practice that provides exposure to a large and vast array of common as well as unique, diverse and complex metabolic and genetic disorders, and an exceptional team of specialists and staff. The Medical Genetics/Metabolism department is the only metabolic center between San Francisco and Los Angeles and offers comprehensive services to children with birth defects including diagnosis, genetic testing, genetic counseling regarding etiology, recurrence risks and prognosis and treatment. The team includes four Genetic Counselors, a Metabolic Dietician and a Social Worker. The center is certified as a CCS Metabolic Treatment Center for the CA Newborn Screening Program and directs the Prenatal Diagnostic Center. Genetic Medicine and Metabolism is also an important part of the Children's Prenatal Diagnostic Center.

Responsibilities include clinical practice and active participation in our Stanford-affiliated pediatric resident training program with opportunities available to be involved in clinical research. Academic appointment will be recommended based on training and experience.

At Valley Children’s Hospital, you’ll love working with over 550 physicians at this stunning, state-of-the-art, 330-bed facility that sits on a 50-acre campus on the idyllic bluffs of the San Joaquin River, with the Sierra Nevada Mountains as a backdrop. Situated very near the geographic center of the state, you’ll enjoy an exceptional quality of life. Residents have the unparalleled opportunity to live within one to three hours of the magnificent Pacific coast, the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles metropolitan areas. Sonoma and Napa counties and Lake Tahoe all are within a four-drive.   Where else can you live where you can enjoy skiing in the morning, wine tasting in the afternoon and watching the sun set on the Pacific in the evening?

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy living in the only city in the nation to have not just one, but three National Parks (Yosemite, King’s Canyon and Sequoia) right in your own backyard. Whether you prefer the snow, the sun or the sand, it’s all within your reach. And with so much varied geography, you’ll also find hiking and biking trails, kayaking, fishing, local wineries, farm stands and festivals, gourmet cuisine, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

Another perk: The area is very affordable, and it boasts award-winning schools, making it the perfect choice for families.
