MetroHealth is seeking a Board-Certified/Board-Eligible Developmental Behavioral Pediatrician to join our team as a full-time provider.

**We see:** Children with developmental, learning, and behavior problems, including:

• Suspected ADHD with comorbid mood, learning, and externalizing behaviors.

• Children with problems of daily functioning (eating, sleeping, toileting).

• New assessments for “not listening” or “failing in school,” where thorough elucidation of the developmental, social, and cognitive context is needed.

• Children with suspected autism complicated by behavioral difficulties, or where extended parent education is useful prior to formal ASD diagnosis through MAAC.

• Children with known or suspected Fragile X

• Children with known or suspected FAS.

We do:

• Holistic assessments (usual first visit is 60-90 minutes, with parent and teacher questionnaires).

• ADHD evaluations that go beyond Vanderbilts to include other standardized questionnaires and assessments of learning, developmental history, and familial and social factors.

• Behavioral counseling (brief parent management training)

• Multiaxial management for children with comorbid medical and behavioral problems.

• Psychopharmacological management, including medication selection and titration, and ongoing med management, if requested.

**We collaborate with** Child Psychology (including the Autism Assessment Clinic), Child Psychiatry, various therapists (SLT, OT, PT), schools, community agencies.

**Job requirements:** Board certification in General Pediatrics and Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics. Expectations for a full-time position include patient management; the ability to see children in more than one location (different clinical sites); resident education (precepting in clinic, lecturing); participation in fellow education (seminars, research collaboration); collaboration with colleagues in the Division, including support for APRNs as needed.

Benefits:

MetroHealth offers a significant sign-on bonus and retention bonus. We offer a very competitive compensation package, health insurance, paid time off, liability insurance, an academic appointment to the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine faculty at a rank commensurate with experience, CME opportunities, malpractice coverage and an impressive pension program with a generous employer match through the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) and an excellent environment for faculty members to develop a strong clinical and research program.

As a Pediatrician, you have a number of opportunities to consider. However, few will offer you the personal and professional satisfaction and the opportunity to work in a safety-net academic medical system that is leading the way to a healthier community through service, teaching, discovery, and teamwork. We have exceptional clinicians with extraordinary hearts, and we are looking for more to join us.
