  Children's National Medical Center is seeking energetic and enthusiastic
  PEM physicians for immediate opportunities with an intense but
  fun-loving faculty group at one of the nation's leading pediatric
  hospitals. We have 30 faculty members and 9 fellows and we also employ
  17 pediatricians and 6 nurse practitioners.
  
  We are in need of additional faculty because of the incredible academic
  and administrative successes within our group, including
  
  * Over 3 million dollars of federal research grants in 2009
  * One of four national nodes for the Pediatric Emergency Care
  Applied Research Network (PECARN)
  * 3 K-Award scholars
  * Advancement to key leadership positions in hospital
  administration in advocacy, research, and education
  * Opening a new satellite emergency department
  
  
  We currently staff a 39-bed emergency department, an adjacent 4-bed
  observation unit, and a fast track/urgent care area across the waiting
  room from the main ED. We are a Level 1 pediatric trauma center, as well
  as a major referral center for the Baltimore/Washington area, and we
  serve as online Medical Control for both prehospital agencies and our
  own critical care interhospital transport team. We have a separate
  Division of Transport Medicine, run by one of our faculty members, to
  support the astounding growth of this program, which includes an inhouse
  helicopter transport system and a state-of-the-art communications
  center.
  
  In addition to an exciting and challenging clinical program treating
  over 85,000 patients per year, we are actively involved in major
  academic pursuits. We are one of four regional nodes for the Pediatric
  Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN), which treats over
  750,000 pediatric patients per year at 22 hospitals. In addition to
  PECARN, we have federal funding to support research in the treatment of
  status epilepticus, research to improve the regional delivery of asthma
  care, and basic research on the genomics of asthma and sepsis. Several
  of our faculty and fellows have successfully partnered with Dr. Eric
  Hoffman, one of the nation's leading experts in genomics and
  proteinomics. We are the lead institution in the first pediatric study
  to utilize the FDA exception from informed consent for emergency
  research, and our asthma research is the cornerstone of a
  multidisciplinary and multi-agency regional asthma center. Children's
  has dramatically increased its NIH funding and has moved from 53rd to
  12th in the nation for pediatric centers. Fellows are actively involved
  in clinical and translational research. Several faculty members
  participate in a Master Teachers program, a certificate program focusing
  on educational scholarship and adult learning/human resource development
  designed to maximize our potential as medical educators. Washington is
  also the focus of intense advocacy efforts on behalf of children.
  
  In September 2010, we will be opening a new, state-of-the-art emergency
  department in Washington, DC, approximately 7 miles from the main
  campus. The facility is being built to our specifications and will be
  staffed by Children's National physicians and nurses.
  
  We have openings for both academically oriented and clinically oriented
  faculty. Salary and benefits are competitive and Washington, DC is a
  great place to live.
