The Division of Pediatric Orthopaedics at Penn State Health Children's Hospital is seeking two full-time BC/BE fellowship-trained pediatric orthopaedic surgeons. We are seeking a surgeon interested in general pediatric orthopaedics (including spine) as well as a surgeon with an interest in neuromuscular/hip/limb deformity. We are very willing to consider applicants with other subspecialty interests. There is strong potential for candidates to assume leadership roles in the future.

Our growing division consists of two Pediatric Orthopaedic surgeons, two Advanced Practice Practitioners, a Nurse Coordinator, and a skilled team of ancillary staff. Our children's hospital is a large (146 bed), academic, tertiary children's hospital with the highest-level NICU, pediatric trauma, and surgical designations. We host numerous specialized clinics for children, including cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, brachial plexus, and complex fetal care. Our extensive referral base includes five primary counties in central Pennsylvania, as well as referrals from the extended central Pennsylvania region.

Our children's hospital is also immediately adjacent to Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, the region's tertiary care facility and adult trauma center. Potential candidates would join a large, nationally-acclaimed academic practice with strong subspecialty programs in all aspects of orthopaedic care. Our department supports an ACGME-accredited residency program as well as fellowships in foot and ankle, trauma, sports medicine, and primary care sports medicine. Pennsylvania State University, one of the top research institutions in the world, offers abundant opportunity for academic and research pursuits.

The qualified candidate will be a full-time faculty member of the Penn State Health Department of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation, and hold an academic rank within the Penn State College of Medicine.

What we're seeking:

  • Medical degree – MD, DO, or foreign equivalent
  • BC/BE in Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Fellowship training in Pediatric Orthopaedics required
  • Excellent patient care abilities, strong communication skills, interest in teaching and research, and a collaborative spirit

What we offer:

  • Outstanding academic program with a national reputation
  • Highly collaborative culture
  • Interaction with dynamic clinicians and researchers across departments and participation in innovative educational approaches.
  • Faculty rank commensurate with experience
  • Competitive salary and generous benefits.
