Job description
Loma Linda University Faculty Medical Group, Department of Anesthesiology, has an immediate need for a Pediatric Anesthesiologist to join our team on a per diem basis. The position will cover night and weekend shifts.
The ideal candidate will be passionate about a position in a collegial, faith-based environment.
Loma Linda University Faculty Medical Group, Department of Anesthesiology, has an immediate need for fellowship-trained, board-eligible or board-certified pediatric anesthesiologists to join our Division of Pediatric Anesthesia at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital on a per diem basis. This position is a good fit for a pediatric anesthesiologist who wants to keep a hand in complex pediatric work in an academic setting without a full-time commitment. Join our collegial environment where the people beside you are the best part of the job.
The Practice
Our pediatric anesthesiologists care exclusively for children at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. The hospital is a Level IV NICU referral center for the Inland Empire, and the patient population is correspondingly complex: premature and critically ill neonates, children with congenital anomalies and chronic disease, and patients referred from across the region for care not available closer to home. The case mix spans neonatal and general pediatric surgery, orthopedics, neurosurgery, ENT, urology, craniofacial and plastic surgery, and a high volume of non-operating-room anesthesia in radiology, oncology, and procedural suites. Loma Linda is also home to an established congenital heart disease program, and pediatric anesthesiologists with the appropriate training and interest may participate in pediatric cardiac cases. Supervision of residents and CRNAs is typically 1:2. Shift assignments are scheduled by mutual availability. There is no minimum commitment, but we encourage the equivalent of one day per week or one week per month, because it keeps per diem physicians familiar with our sites, systems, and colleagues.
The Faculty
Per diem physicians hold a faculty appointment in the Department of Anesthesiology. Our pediatric anesthesiologists, pediatric surgeons, neonatologists, intensivists, and nurses are a close-knit team that plans cases together, reviews outcomes together, and enjoys one another’s company. Per diem physicians are members of that team. You will be oriented by experienced faculty, scheduled alongside people who are glad to have you, and treated as a colleague.
Teaching
Our residents are the reason many of us chose academic practice. Per diem pediatric anesthesiologists supervise residents on their pediatric rotations, as well as our ACGME-accredited pediatric anesthesiology fellows. We are looking for physicians who find that work rewarding and who bring patience and high standards.
Compensation
Starting compensation is $300 – $350 per hour. Details are discussed with the department during the recruitment process.
Benefits: occurrence malpractice insurance is paid for by the department
See Public Service Loan Forgiveness for details on federal loan forgiveness eligibility.
Mission
Loma Linda University Health is a Seventh-day Adventist academic health system, and its commitment to whole-person care and service shapes the department’s work. Our pediatric anesthesiologists care for a diverse, often underserved population of children in the Inland Empire.

Qualifications
Candidates must have completed an ACGME-accredited pediatric anesthesiology fellowship, be board certified or board eligible by the American Board of Anesthesiology with pediatric anesthesiology subspecialty certification or eligibility, and hold, or be eligible for, a California medical license.
