Pediatric Gastroenterologist/Transplant Hepatologist Details The Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at the University of Utah School of Medicine has an immediate opening for a Pediatric Gastroenterologist/Hepatologist with advanced training and/or experience in Pediatric Transplant Hepatology. The Pediatric Gastroenterologist/Hepatologist will be part of a clinical team in the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition in the Department of Pediatrics, University of Utah School of Medicine. The Pediatric Gastroenterologist/Hepatologist will provide outpatient and inpatient care, focusing primarily on transplant hepatology and liver disease, in addition to general pediatric gastroenterology and clinical outreach activities at satellite clinics. While the primary focus of this position is clinical service, there are opportunities for academic work, including education, collaborative clinical research and investigation, administration, and advocacy. The clinical activities are carried out at Primary Children’s Hospital (PCH), a 289‑bed children’s hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 2024, a second PCH campus opened in Lehi, Utah. The Pediatric Liver Care Center serves the largest geographic catchment area in the United States, with patients from Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Wyoming, and New Mexico. The liver transplant program has performed over 300 liver transplants since its inception (over 40% are altruistic or related living donors), with more than 30 in the last two years. The adult affiliated liver transplant programs (the University of Utah and Intermountain Healthcare) performed about 470 liver transplants since 2024, with an active and collaborative transition program between all centers. The Division currently has 19 physicians, six advanced practice clinicians, 12 registered nurses and transplant coordinators, five pediatric GI fellows, and one transplant hepatology fellow. The Division has all pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition clinical services represented, including therapeutic/interventional endoscopy, a fully equipped and staffed endoscopy suite, a gastrointestinal motility disorders center, a multidisciplinary IBD program with close collaboration with an IBD surgery program, close collaboration with the cystic fibrosis center, food allergy and eosinophilic disorders clinic, a Fontan care program, the esophageal and airway treatment center, a feeding and swallowing center, a comprehensive nutrition center, an aerodigestive clinic, a home enteral feeding transitions program (post‑NICU), and a multidisciplinary colorectal center. The University of Utah is one of the most productive centers for pediatric liver disease research in the country. It is one of only eight members of the NIH‑funded Childhood Liver Disease Research Network (ChiLDReN), prospectively studying biliary atresia, cholestatic liver disorders, and mitochondrial liver disease in a multicenter network. The center participates in the SPLIT registry, the Starzl Network, and the Children’s Oncology Group, as well as multicenter clinical trials in cholestatic liver disorders. The University of Utah is also the central hub site for the Pediatric PSC Consortium. Clinical and academic opportunities can be tailored to candidate's interests, including clinical trials, leadership of transplant hepatology fellowship or transplant programs, working in the multidisciplinary CFLD or FALD clinics, or leading the NICU consult service, among others. The Department of Pediatrics is also a site for the Neonatal Network, the Pediatric Heart Network, the Pediatric Cardiac Genetics Consortium, the Utah Trial Innovation Center, the Utah Clinical & Translational Science Institute (CTSI), Huntsman Cancer Institute, and the Utah Center for Genetic Discovery. Qualifications Qualified candidates must have a minimum of one year of advanced training in pediatric transplant hepatology, or equivalent experience; must have completed a Pediatrics Residency and a Pediatric Gastroenterology Fellowship; be board‑certified in Pediatric Gastroenterology, and board‑eligible or board‑certified in Pediatric Transplant Hepatology. The selected candidate will receive a faculty appointment in the Department of Pediatrics on the Clinical or Tenure track at the academic level commensurate with experience and qualifications.
