Clinical Settings

Benioff Children  Hospitals General Pediatric Units

PHM faculty work with multidisciplinary teams and supervise a variety of trainees.

Bay Area Community Hospitals

PHM faculty provide care at three Bay Area community hospitals:

• Eden Medical Center (Castro Valley, CA)
• San Ramon Regional Medical Center (San Ramon, CA)
• Washington Hospital Healthcare System (Fremont, CA)

Responsibilities at these sites include pediatric inpatient care, well and sick newborn care, high-risk delivery attendance, ER consultation, and collaboration with regional primary care practices. Shifts are typically 24 hours in-house, with some flexibility for splitting day and night shifts at certain sites. Faculty primarily based at community hospitals will be appointed as academic faculty in the Division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine and have opportunities to pursue academic work.

A blended role with clinical work at Benioff Children  Hospitals in San Francisco or Oakland may also be considered.

Benioff Children  Hospitals Hematology-Oncology & Blood & Marrow Transplant (BMT) Units

PHM faculty in the Hematology-Oncology & BMT units serve as front-line providers, working closely with interdisciplinary teams to care for children with complex hematologic and oncologic conditions, including those undergoing bone marrow or stem cell transplants. Faculty collaborate with advanced practice providers (APPs), fellows, and fellowship-trained attendings to manage patient care, make critical medical decisions, and provide hands-on education to trainees.

Day shifts involve rounding with a team of bedside nurses, case managers, dieticians, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, residents, fellows, and Hematology-Oncology/BMT attendings, while night shifts focus on providing immediate coverage for patient concerns and admissions, with on-call support as needed based on patient acuity. PHM faculty also perform procedures such as lumbar punctures and central line removals, and handle common acute issues like transfusion needs, sepsis, anaphylaxis, and pain management.

Faculty dedicated to these units will have opportunities to develop their academic careers within the Division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine, while also contributing to education and clinical care. It may be possible to blend a general pediatric role with Hematology-Oncology & BMT responsibilities, which can be discussed during the interview process.
