Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Faculty Position

The Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology of Children’s Specialty Group (CSG), PLLC at Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters (CHKD) in Norfolk, Virginia is seeking a ninth board-certified/eligible Pediatric Hematology-Oncology physician to join our expanding team.

Physicians of CSG base their practice at CHKD, Virginia’s only freestanding, full-service children’s hospital. Our 16-bed inpatient hematology/oncology unit and dedicated outpatient center provide comprehensive care for patients across the full spectrum of hematologic and oncologic disorders.

Physicians hold academic appointments through the Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences program of Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) at Old Dominion University, where they participate actively in teaching medical students and residents. Faculty are encouraged to engage in scholarly work, quality improvement, and clinical research.

The Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at CHKD follows more than five hundred childhood cancer patients, averaging seventy new oncology diagnoses annually. We are an active member within the Children’s Oncology Group (COG). We care for over four hundred children with sickle cell disease, hundreds of children with coagulation defects, and hundreds more with other hematologic diagnoses. We collaborate with numerous sub-specialty colleagues in our multi-disciplinary programs including sickle cell, cancer survivorship, neuro-oncology, hematology-gynecology, and vascular anomalies. We are active participants with the National Alliance of Sickle Cell Centers, the North American Pediatric Aplastic Anemia Consortium, and are a certified Comprehensive Hemophilia Treatment Center. We are an active site for CAR-T cell therapy with KYMRIAH® and preparing to launch with LYFGENIZTM^TM gene therapy for patients with sickle cell disease.

Our integrated palliative care program in ongoing partnership with Edmarc Inc.- the nation’s first pediatric hospice program - provides exceptional supportive care services to our high-risk patients.

We have an outstanding research office staff; investigator initiated, industry and cooperative group clinical research is encouraged.

Salary and benefits are highly competitive. Faculty rank will be commensurate with experience. Candidates have an opportunity for partnership in CSG, our physician-owned pediatric multi-specialty practice.
