General Pediatrician

Job Description

ASSOCIATED PEDIATRICIANS, located in Northwest Indiana, just under one hour from Chicago, is seeking a general pediatrician to join our growing practice in preparation for the upcoming retirement of a partner physician. Full-time candidates are preferred, but part-time candidates will be considered. Join a profitable, collegial private practice where teamwork and patient care come first (instead of just paperwork and administrative headaches).

• Full scope of general pediatrics in-office care, including well-child care, care of chronic medical conditions, care of complex pediatric patients, and support of pediatric mental health care
• Call coverage 1 : 8 for newborn nursery only, with no inpatient pediatric responsibility
• No attendance at c-sections and no care of critical newborns due to 24-hour in-house neonatology coverage
• In-office behavioral health consultants that help provide support to families and assist in facilitating pediatric mental health care
• Attractive employment agreement with a guaranteed salary and incentive bonus based on productivity for the first three years, with opportunities for future partnership for interested candidates.
• Excellent work-life balance in a vibrant, active, and family-oriented community
• Teaching opportunities available, if desired, through our affiliations with Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis and Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago.

Our practice is a thriving collegial group of eight pediatricians and three pediatric nurse practitioners. We are a long-established, physician-owned, and profitable private practice that provides family-centered, evidence-based pediatric care to our community. We have two offices and serve a patient population that is 85% privately insured. We are actively involved in our local community through various events and outreach programs.

Our location is far enough from Chicago to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city, yet close enough to run into downtown for sporting events (Cubs, Bears, etc.), visits to museums, or even just a night on the town. Within Valparaiso itself, you'll find fantastic restaurants, cultural and sporting events associated with Division 1 Valparaiso University, and a large and active local parks system. The Indiana Dunes National Park is close by and offers beach and boating opportunities on Lake Michigan. If you will be moving your family here, you'll also find fantastic educational opportunities within the award-winning public school system as well as excellent private school options.

Experienced candidates and new / upcoming residency graduates (Class of 2026 or 2027) will be considered. Must be board-certified or board-eligible. Interested candidates may send their CV and any questions to ecampbell@associatedpediatricians.com
