The Opportunity
Golisano Children’s Hospital (GCH) at the University of Rochester Medical Center invites applications and nominations for the position of Chief of the Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine. This is an extraordinary opportunity for a visionary, academically accomplished physician-leader to lead a nationally recognized, high-performing division at the only pediatric referral center serving the 17-county Finger Lakes region of New York.
The incoming Chief will inherit a division with deep clinical expertise, a vibrant fellowship training program, and a strong research culture, and will be positioned to expand and elevate all three missions within a well-resourced academic environment.
Golisano Children’s Hospital is the dedicated children’s hospital within the University of Rochester Medical Center, operating under the license of Strong Memorial Hospital, the adult hospital at URMC and the designated Level I Pediatric Trauma Center and burn center for the region. This close integration provides GCH with the full resources of a major academic medical center while maintaining a child- and family-centered environment. GCH is consistently ranked among the nation’s best children’s hospitals by U.S. News & World Report across nine specialty areas, including neonatology, neurology, neurosurgery, hematology/oncology, nephrology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, and orthopedics. The current eight-story, 148-bed hospital opened in 2015 and provides a full spectrum of care spanning more than 40 specialty areas, serving over 85,000 children and their families each year. Plans are underway for an expansion that will add two more floors to the children’s tower.
The Department of Pediatrics ranks consistently among the top 20 pediatric departments nationally in NIH-funded research, with robust basic, translational, and clinical programs and a long tradition of excellence in medical education and community advocacy.
The Division of Pediatric Critical Care holds a central role in the clinical, educational, and research missions of GCH. For approximately 1,000 ICU admissions per year, the Division faculty provide full-time, in-house coverage of the following:
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)
The PICU is a 12-bed unit caring for pediatric patients across the region with critical injury and illness with an average daily census of 10.3. A multi-disciplinary team operates the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) program serving PICU and NICU patients
Pediatric Cardiac Care Center (PCCC)
The 16-bed PCCC cares for patients undergoing cardiac surgery and interventional procedures. With an active ECMO program, the PCCC supports GCH’s regional pediatric cardiac surgery program covering Western and Central New York.
Additional Clinical Services
Division faculty also staff a busy sedation and vascular access service and lead and manage the Pediatric Transport Program, serving critically ill children throughout the region.
The division is a recognized leader in pediatric critical care education. Training programs include:
Research
Research within the division centers on clinical questions in pediatric critical illness, with major foci including hemodynamic monitoring, acute kidney injury, clinical decision support, and outcomes research.

The incoming Chief will have the opportunity to shape and expand the division’s research program with strong departmental and institutional support.
