Division of Hospital Medicine

The Division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine is a team of over 35 hospitalist physicians with diverse clinical and academic interests who are board-certified or board eligible in pediatric hospital medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, or dually certified in pediatrics and internal medicine. 

We are dedicated to caring for medically complex infants, children, and adolescents who have been admitted to Primary Children’s Hospital, Primary Children’s Riverton, and Utah Valley Hospitals through referral from their primary care physician, the emergency room, or those recovering from surgery.

Our clinical care model emphasizes shared decision making. This team-based, collaborative approach enables us to partner with our patients and their families to ensure delivery of the highest quality care.  
We continue to provide support for our patients after their stay with us by coordinating with their primary care providers or by referral to the Pediatric Comprehensive Care clinic at the Eccles Outpatient Services Building.  We partner with primary and specialty providers locally and regionally to keep children, when possible, closer to home and to empower families. 

Our physicians hold faculty appointments with the University of Utah School of Medicine and are actively engaged in educating medical students, residents, fellows, and in improving current and future medical care. Our faculty have been recognized regionally and nationally with teaching awards and accolades and our ACGME-qualified Pediatric Hospital Medicine fellowship program is nationally recognized.

We are passionate about a diverse range of interests including medical education, health services research, communication research, quality improvement, global health, informatics, and health.  Find out more about our scholarship, research, and leadership initiatives on our Scholarly Works page.
