Position Overview

BayCare Medical Group is seeking a motivated PRN Pediatric Hospitalist to play a pivotal role in supporting and shaping a brand-new pediatric hospitalist program at Mease Countryside Hospital in Safety Harbor, Florida. The ideal candidate will have the opportunity to build, innovate, and leave a lasting impact on pediatric inpatient care. As a founding physician, the Pediatric Hospitalists will help establish clinical workflows, influence program development, and contribute to a culture of excellence from day one. 

Why This Opportunity Stands Out 

Be Part of a New Program

Join a dedicated team supporting Mease Countryside Hospital's 8-bed general pediatric unit and contribute to the growth of a pediatric hospitalist service focused on quality, efficiency, and exceptional family-centered care.

We welcome pediatricians with pediatric hospital medicine experience who are energized by program development, collaboration, and leadership opportunities. Candidates who enjoy creating processes, driving quality initiatives, and helping build a strong team culture will thrive in this role. If you want the opportunity to help build the future of pediatric inpatient care, we'd love to connect with you.
