You will be working alongside world-class pediatric subspecialists and interdisciplinary care teams. In addition, you will participate in the teaching of trainees and have an opportunity to participate in clinical research projects. This is a unique partnership that benefits children and families in two key markets of New England.
The position includes split clinical time between Connecticut Children’s and Boston Children’s Ophthalmology departments, with access to state-of-the-art clinics and surgical facilities at both institutions. You will be supported by experienced administrative and clinical staff and offered a competitive compensation and benefits package.
