Clinical Scope



Typical responsibilities include:

• Insulin pump management


• Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) management


• Supervising infusion center stimulation tests and endocrine diagnostics


• Outpatient pediatric endocrine follow-up


• Inpatient consults and rounding


• Minimal callback expected (facility has multiple attendings and fellows daily)

What the Facility Prefers



MemorialCare leadership is selective, with strong preference for:

• Physicians who live locally or within a short commute


• Providers coming from integrated or large-system models, such as:
  
  
  • Optum
  
  
  • Kaiser Permanente
  
  
  • Providence
  
  
  
  


• Candidates with prior large pediatric system experience


• Early-career physicians or those comfortable stepping into a high-responsibility role

They may consider providers from private practice backgrounds if the fit is right.


Why This Assignment Stands Out

• Rare opportunity to support a rebuilding Pediatric Endocrinology program
  


• Consistent weekly blocks + predictable schedule


• Ability to convert to a permanent role if desired


• Work on a major SoCal medical campus with strong inpatient teams


• High-impact role with meaningful continuity of care
