This is an exceptional opportunity to lead a community-focused clinical division in the world-renowned Texas Medical Center. Under the leadership of renowned Professor and Chair, Mary Aitken, and in alignment with the Department of Pediatrics' broader strategic plans, the incoming Chief will be responsible for creating and implementing the vision and goals for the division and leading and mentoring the division's esteemed faculty and next generation of clinicians. Affiliated with Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital and the Lyndon B.

The Pediatric Gastroenterology Division is currently #30 in the US News and World Report Top Children's Hospitals ranked ahead of many more populated programs, and is expanding outreach clinics across the growing pediatric population in Greater Houston. There is strong institutional support to continue this growth and develop additional areas, including advanced endoscopy and motility programs. The ideal candidate for the Chief position will be an Associate or full Professor with demonstrated experience and skill in leading academic programs and a commitment to excellence, discovery, and service along with a track record of achievement in their field of expertise. Expertise in managing a pediatric gastroenterology clinical practice will ideally support current division programs and department goals.
