Pediatric Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery
Description
Expanding Division | Growing Region | Exceptional Quality of Life
Pediatric Search Partners is engaged to conduct a national search for Board Certified and Board Eligible Pediatric Otolaryngologists to join the expanding Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine. These opportunities are open due to ongoing growth and expansion. You will join four pediatric otolaryngologists as the Division’s fifth faculty member and practice at CHRISTUS Children’s, San Antonio’s first and only freestanding, academic, not-for-profit children’s hospital.
This is an especially compelling opportunity for pediatric otolaryngologists seeking the collegiality and clinical support of an established, collegialce division, an academic appointment with a nationally respected medical school, and the opportunity to help expand access to pediatric otolaryngology services throughout San Antonio and South Texas.
The Division is a core clinical unit within the Baylor College of Medicine Department of Pediatric Surgery at CHRISTUS Children’s and is committed to exceptional patient care, academic excellence, education, and continued program growth.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Join a thriving and collaborative division of four established pediatric otolaryngologists and two certified physician assistants
- Provide comprehensive pediatric otolaryngology care at CHRISTUS Children’s and its growing network of community and satellite clinics
- Teach and mentor residents and medical students in a supportive academic environment
- Contribute ideas and expertise as the Division expands access, develops services, and responds to the needs of a rapidly growing pediatric population
- Work within a strong multidisciplinary environment supported by pediatric medical and surgical subspecialists
- Benefit from the resources and academic opportunities available through Baylor College of Medicine and CHRISTUS Children’s
- Pursue clinical research interests through the Max and Minnie Tomerlin Voelcker Clinical Research Center, which supports more than 200 active studies backed by $5.3 million in state, federal, and foundation grants
- Build a rewarding career in one of the nation’s most vibrant, affordable, and highly recognized major cities
The Physician Who Will Thrive Here

About CHRISTUS Children’s and Baylor College of Medicine
CHRISTUS Children’s serves as a focal point for pediatric care throughout San Antonio and South Texas. As part of CHRISTUS Health, the hospital combines a longstanding mission of service with comprehensive pediatric clinical resources, more than 1,000 staff members, and a 400-nurse team that earned Magnet recognition in both 2018 and 2024.
Since 2013, CHRISTUS Children’s and Baylor College of Medicine have shared a distinguished academic and clinical partnership. Baylor College of Medicine employs and oversees the physicians practicing at the children’s hospital and was recognized by U.S. News & World Report in 2026–27 as Tier 1 among Best Medical Schools for Research and Tier 3 among Best Medical Schools for Primary Care.
This partnership brings together CHRISTUS Children’s mission of compassionate service to children and families, dating back to 1869, with the academic excellence of Baylor College of Medicine. Physicians can combine meaningful clinical work with teaching, research, and multidisciplinary collaboration while helping shape the continued growth of pediatric specialty and surgical services in a hospital with a strong community focus and commitment that no child will be denied care because their parents cannot pay—a particularly compelling expression of its mission.
Compensation and Institutional Support
The position is employed by Baylor College of Medicine and includes an academic faculty appointment, a highly competitive salary, an excellent comprehensive benefits package, and the institutional resources of Baylor College of Medicine and CHRISTUS Children’s.
About San Antonio
Ranked No. 8 among U.S. News & World Report’s Best Big Cities to Live in the U.S. for 2026–27, the Alamo City is one of Texas’ most historic and charming metropolitan areas, blending Old West history, Spanish heritage, and all the energy of a big city yet with the warm, welcoming feel of a small town.
San Antonio is also one of the nation’s fastest-growing major cities. As San Antonio and South Texas continue to grow, the region offers significant long-term opportunity for pediatric specialists serving children and families across a large and expanding regional referral area.
Residents are drawn to San Antonio by its comparatively affordable housing, excellent public and private schools, more than 300 days of sunshine annually, mild winters, abundant green space, professional sports, world-class restaurants, two major amusement parks, shopping, nightlife, entertainment, and a strong regional economy with varied professional opportunities for spouses and partners.
The city continues to receive national recognition for its quality of life, culture, food and distinctive appeal. San Antonio was named one of only five North American “Cities to Watch” in Oxford Economics’ 2026 Global Cities Index for its balanced GDP growth and employment gains. It was recognized as No. 24 nationwide in Resonance Consultancy’s 2026 America’s Best Cities report for the city’s economic growth, livability and cultural appeal and was one of Travel + Leisure’s favorite U.S. cities in the 2025 World’s Best Awards with recognition for its culinary innovation, history, walkability, and distinctive cultural character.
On weekends, residents can enjoy the River Walk, the Pearl, museums, parks, restaurants, shops, galleries, Fiesta celebrations, and the wide-open beauty of the Texas Hill Country, with its rolling hills, wineries, outdoor recreation, and charming towns such as Fredericksburg and Boerne.
San Antonio is also well-positioned for travel with convenient access to San Antonio International Airport and ongoing airport expansion and modernization. For coastal getaways, Corpus Christi and Port Aransas are within an easy drive. Austin is less than 90 minutes away, Houston is less than three hours away, and Dallas is about four hours.
And, as a resident of Texas, you will pay no state income tax.
