Working in close collaboration with its sister division, Population Health, Quality, and Implementation Science (PopQuIS), which houses ambulatory primary care pediatrics and our generalist research mission (Lawrence Kleinman, MD, MPH Division Director) the RWJMS Department of Pediatrics is moving its academic mission for general pediatrics to an exciting new trajectory.  PopQuIS is developing programs in health services and health policy research, and quality, safety, and implementation sciences.

The children’s hospital is adjacent to the RWJUH adult hospital which is connected via a bridge to the Rutgers Cancer Institute of NJ – the only NCI designated center in the state of New Jersey.

Our hospitalists share all call, weekend and holiday coverage. We are seeking candidates who have a passion for teaching, enjoy caring for children with a wide variety of conditions including those who are medically complex. We value leadership.
