Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU Health, Richmond, VA

The Pediatric Nephrology Division of the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at Virginia Commonwealth University (CHoR) is devoted to excellence in clinical care, teaching, and clinical, translational, and basic research. We are seeking a full-time Assistant or Associate Professor (non-tenure eligible) pediatric nephrologist to join our division.

The Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU has undergone significant growth over the past 10 years. A free standing pediatric outpatient facility built in 2016 has allowed for significant outpatient growth and contains clinic space, a pediatric specific dialysis unit, outpatient procedure rooms, outpatient ORs, imaging and radiology, and faculty offices. We have now opened a new free standing Children’s Hospital April 30, 2023, devoted to providing an exclusively child-centered environment for kids and their families. Outreach clinics occur throughout the state to allow for local care of children.

The division currently has 2.9 FTE faculty members, 2 APP, 2 nurse RN educators, a social worker, a dietician, and an administrative assistant. Included in the division is the section of Pediatric Rheumatology with an additional physician and RN devoted to Rheumatology. The division has an active inpatient and outpatient presence with a busy end-stage renal disease program including dialysis and transplantation, as well as procedures including acute dialysis (PD, HD and CRRT) and renal biopsies.

Additionally, the division has an active ACGME approved fellowship program, and an active clinical research program with involvement in the Pediatric Nephrology Research Consortium (PNRC), the ASN, ASPN, IPNA and IPTA.

Applicants must be board certified in pediatrics and board certified/eligible in pediatric nephrology. A demonstrated experience working in and fostering a diverse faculty, staff, and student environment, or commitment to do so as a faculty member at VCU, is required.

The Virginia Commonwealth University Department of Pediatrics is dedicated to providing comprehensive, compassionate, state-of-the-art pediatric health care, research and education at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU, a full-service children’s hospital within the VCU Medical Center. CHoR offers a robust continuum of pediatric services, research and education, and is the region’s only full-service children’s hospital. CHoR provides emergency, primary, secondary, advanced, tertiary and long-term care. CHoR has 11 locations across Central Virginia and provides more than 42 pediatric medical/surgical services.

There is energy and momentum around advancing children’s health in Richmond, and we have marked a new milestone. Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU recently opened a multi-story, high-tech ambulatory pavilion for pediatric services.  The new facility will meet the growing need for outpatient services for children in our community.

CHoR's outpatient pavilion is the largest, most advanced outpatient facility dedicated to children in the region. The new pavilion includes diagnostic and treatment services for children, bringing together the majority of outpatient pediatric services currently on the MCV campus to one location. It is designed to meet the unique health care needs of children, and to provide Richmond the most advanced and coordinated care possible:

The facility is a 640,000 square foot, multi-story building and includes a 7-story parking deck with more than 600 spaces.
The new pavilion houses 72 exam rooms arranged in clinic pods to optimize a multidisciplinary care model. Each pod includes 12 exam rooms, a treatment room, support space and a centralized clinical team.
The new pavilion features pediatric-dedicated imaging, surgical and endoscopy procedure rooms, as well as pediatric faculty offices.
The pavilion is designed with future expansion in mind. It can accommodate additional clinic pods and operating rooms, as demand for these services increases.

Virginia Commonwealth University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer. Women, minorities, veterans, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

When we break ground on a new facility, it’s about more than bricks and mortar. It’s just like we tell our children— it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Over the past three years, Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU has increased pediatric faculty to more than 130 clinicians focused on 42 specialty areas and providing access to children’s health care from more than 11 locations throughout the region. It’s these dedicated physicians and an extensive network of pediatric-trained nurses, child-life specialists, therapists, social workers and ancillary medical staff, who will continue providing health care designed especially for children.
