FACULTY RECRUITMENT
About Us
The division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine is a team of more than 40 physicians, 3+ fellows, and 10+ staff with diverse clinical and academic interests. Our hospitalists are board-certified or board eligible in pediatric hospital medicine, family medicine, or pediatrics, or are dually certified in pediatrics and internal medicine. We care for medically complex infants, children, and adolescents who have been admitted to either Primary Children’s Hospital location in Salt Lake City or Lehi, Utah. Our team-based, collaborative approach to care emphasizes shared decision making with our patients and their families. We work closely with our subspecialty and community partners to ensure that our patients are supported as they transition from the hospital to their primary care providers or receive referral to the pediatric complex care clinic at Primary Children’s Eccles Outpatient Services building.
Our physicians hold faculty appointments with the University of Utah School of Medicine and are actively engaged in educating medical students, residents, and fellows as they improve current and future medical care. Our faculty are regional and national teaching award recipients, and our ACGME-accredited Pediatric Hospital Medicine fellowship program is nationally recognized.
In addition to education, our faculty are researchers, administrators, and advocates whose many contributions to health services research, global health, quality improvement, communication research, and health informatics demonstrate their passion for improving the lives of children.

Our commitment to Health Equity
We, the Division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine, are the heart of the University of Utah and Intermountain Health pediatric partnership. We acknowledge that health disparities can be perpetuated by the systems, structures, and policies foundational to our institutions. With humility and curiosity, we commit to investigating, documenting, and improving our health inequities through collaboration and community. We commit to sustained, demonstrable, and meaningful anti-discrimination thought, dialogue and actions so that our hospital becomes a safe, brave space that puts the “Child First and Always.” We commit to empowering every healthcare worker to prevent harm and promote well-being for our patience and our communities. We commit to changing the environment of our institution so that all patients, families, employees, trainees and students including those with backgrounds affected most by health disparities feel not only safe and included, but are also able to thrive and prosper. We recognize and value the need to balance embracing discomfort with the imperative to create a psychologically safe environment free of retaliation. We are committed to being leaders in creating an anti-discrimination culture that values health equity for the University of Utah Department of Pediatrics and Primary Children’s Hospital.
