The Division Chief will provide strategic leadership and administrative oversight for the pediatric anesthesia division across the system, including affiliated community hospitals. Responsibilities include leading recruitment efforts, overseeing clinical anesthesia care for a high-acuity pediatric case mix (including neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, MRI, and trauma/ICU) across operating rooms, and aligning the pediatric anesthesia service with broader departmental and system priorities to promote excellence in operations, culture, mentorship, and national academic engagement.

The role also calls for strong administrative and interpersonal skills, credible clinical and scholarly leadership, high integrity, and highly collaborative communication with physicians, nurses, and other care providers.
