Pediatric Urgent Care: Work Only 3–3.5 Shifts per Week | Academic Appointment | Kansas City Metro

Are you a pediatrician looking for exceptional work–life balance, academic engagement, and the chance to practice in one of the largest, fastest growing metro areas in the country?

• Involvement in clinical practice guideline development & quality improvement committees
• Work daily in an environment connected to 50+ pediatric subspecialties

Unmatched Quality of Life

• 3–3.5 shifts per week on average

• Predictable scheduling that supports family life, hobbies, and long weekends

Competitive Compensation + Lifestyle Perks

• Generous salary based on experience and benefits package
• 30 days of PTO in year one plus large company retirement match

• Work with a large, supportive team of 60+ Urgent Care physicians and APPs
• Procedures include simple laceration repair, abscess I&D, foreign body removal, and more
• Fully integrated EMR; moving to EPIC early 2026

Why Kansas City? A Metro You’ll Want to Call Home
Kansas City is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States, offering an unbeatable blend of affordability, culture, and family-friendly amenities.

Big City Amenities Without Big City Stress

• Major-league sports (Chiefs, Royals, Sporting KC, KC Current)
• Thriving arts scene, museums, festivals, live music
• Award-winning food culture (national BBQ capital)
• International airport with easy national travel

Affordable, High-Quality Living

• Cost of living significantly lower than coastal metros
• Spacious homes, great suburbs, and top-rated school districts
• Short commutes and minimal traffic

Family-Friendly Community

• One of the most welcoming and community-oriented metros in the Midwest
• Parks, trails, lakes, and countless family attractions
• A region that embraces this health system and the work they do

Facility Location
Located close to the geographical and population centers of the U.S., Kansas City really lives up to its moniker as “The Heart of America.” Famous for its mouth-watering barbeque dishes, you’ll soon find there is much more to this town than just the food. With its abundance of fountains and boulevards, Kansas City is the perfect place for travelers looking for a thriving Midwestern city.
