The Division of Genetic and Genomic Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, located at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, is seeking a clinical geneticist or biochemical geneticist to join in our clinical and teaching activities.
The Division serves inpatients and outpatients of all ages in general genetics, cardiovascular genetics, and metabolics, with multidisciplinary clinics for bone metabolism, Down syndrome, 22q11 deletion, fetal medicine, and others. There is a busy metabolic practice covering a range of inborn errors of metabolism in over 1000 active patients. The Division also supports a Clinical Genetics residency program, and fellowships in Medical Biochemical, Molecular Genetics and Cytogenetics. Nationwide Children’s is 1 of 8 Regional Genetics Centers funded by the Ohio Department of Health, serving over 3.5 million (>750,000 pediatric age) in central and southeast Ohio, with 35,000 births annually.
The successful candidate will join an expanding team that consists of seven clinical geneticists (three metabolic), 12 genetic counselors, two dieticians, three nurse practitioners, RN care coordinator, and a metabolic nurse. Full genetics laboratory services on site include biochemical genetics, cytogenetics, and molecular diagnostic labs with on-site whole exome sequencing.
Named to the Top 10 Honor Roll on U.S. News & World Report’s 2022-23 list of “Best Children’s Hospitals,” Nationwide Children’s Hospital is one of America’s largest not-for-profit free-standing pediatric health care systems providing unique expertise in pediatric population health, behavioral health, genomics and health equity as the next frontiers in pediatric medicine, leading to best outcomes for the health of the whole child. Integrated clinical and research programs, as well as prioritizing quality and safety, are part of what allows Nationwide Children’s to advance its unique model of care. Nationwide Children’s has a staff of more than 13,000 that provides state-of-the-art wellness, preventive and rehabilitative care and diagnostic treatment during more than 1.6 million patient visits annually. As home to the Department of Pediatrics of The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Nationwide Children’s physicians train the next generation of pediatricians and pediatric specialists. The Abigail Wexner Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital is one of the Top 10 National Institutes of Health-funded free-standing pediatric research facilities. More information is available at NationwideChildrens.org.
There are a number of active clinical trials or natural history studies conducted through the Division. The investigators associated with the Research Institute have frequent collaborations with clinical faculty. Additionally, a main strategic focus at Nationwide Children’s is the implementation of genomic medicine across the hospital led by the new Institute of Genomic Medicine, which is closely affiliated with the Division of Genetic and Genomic Medicine.
Qualified applicants must be board eligible or board certified in Clinical Genetics. It is expected that the position will be filled at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor. Medical Biochemical certification and/or interest in Cardiovascular Genetics are a plus.
