Pediatric Gastroenterologist

About the Team

The Department of Pediatrics at Loma Linda University School of Medicine is a vibrant academic community dedicated to advancing pediatric care and education. The Pediatric Gastroenterology division currently comprises eight Pediatric Gastroenterologists and a Nurse Practitioner, working collaboratively to deliver comprehensive care.

About the Role

This full-time position offers the opportunity to join a dynamic division providing specialized gastroenterology and nutrition services to the Inland Empire of Southern California.

You will practice within a state-of-the-art facility featuring a comprehensive endoscopy lab, motility studies, and full-time anesthesia support.

Beyond clinical duties, this position is deeply rooted in academic medicine. You will serve as an excellent clinician and teacher, mentoring residents and fellows while contributing to the educational mission of Loma Linda University. There are ample opportunities to engage in both basic and clinical research. While experience or interest in motility disorders is preferred, the role is designed for a versatile physician committed to the growth of the division.
