On behalf of the Cook Children's Health Care System (CCHCS) located in Ft. Worth, Texas, CareerPhysician, the national leader in child health faculty and leadership recruitment, is pleased to announce a national search for a Pediatric Otolaryngologist to join the well-resourced and rapidly growing Department of Pediatric Otolaryngology.  The explosive population growth of West and North Texas has led the practice into a phase of expansion that will encompass the addition of key clinical programs and additional surgical faculty.

Opportunity to practice a broad spectrum of Pediatric Otolaryngology in a tertiary care setting with a balanced practice/lifestyle with 1 in 7 call, evening call supported by an ENT RN and no facial trauma call.  Supported by 6 advanced practice providers, 2 of whom are dedicated to inpatient service.  Large catchment area including West Texas provides significant diversity of pathology. 

Key Opportunity Highlights:

• Seeking candidates, including 2024 & 2025 fellows, with interest in joining a thriving Pediatric Otolaryngology surgical practice.  Opportunities for a comprehensive surgical practice as well as the ability to develop/expand upon multidisciplinary subspecialty programs according to your interests.  While not a required niche, a specific area for growth available is open airway reconstruction.
• Look forward to a culture that does not relegate physicians to treating only 1 or 2 aspects of Pediatric Otolaryngology.  All physicians are welcome to pursue all aspects of ENT that are of interest to them.
• Qualified candidates may participate in the fellow’s retention program that will provide a monthly stipend of $2,500 from the time a contract is signed through the start of practice with Cook Children’s.
• Opportunities available, but not required, to teach medical students and residents as well as pursue clinical research with support including campus IRB, grant writing, research nurses, and a dedicated PhD statistician.
• The CCHCS recently ranked number one on the Forbes' 2024 list of "America's Best Large Employers" in the “Health Care and Social Services” industry category.
• Highly competitive compensation and benefits package, no state income tax, and a strong economy in one of the fastest growing areas of the United States.
