Benefits :

MetroHealth offers a significant sign-on bonus and retention bonus. We offer a very competitive compensation package, health insurance, paid time off, liability insurance, an academic appointment to the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine faculty at a rank commensurate with experience, CME opportunities, malpractice coverage and an impressive pension program with a generous employer match through the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) and an excellent environment for faculty members to develop a strong clinical and research program.

As a Pediatrician, you have a number of opportunities to consider. However, few will offer you the personal and professional satisfaction and the opportunity to work in a safety-net academic medical system that is leading the way to a healthier community through service, teaching, discovery, and teamwork. We have exceptional clinicians with extraordinary hearts, and we are looking for more to join us.
