Carilion Clinic and Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine (VTCSOM) are searching for a board-eligible or board-certified, fellowship-trained pediatric urologist to join our growing Section of Urology. The Section of Urology is expanding the academic and clinical urological missions in Southwest Virginia with the stated goal of evolving to an independent department and establishing a urology residency training program. The Carilion Clinic adult and pediatric urology programs were both founded in 2023. Prior to 2023, pediatric urology did not exist in Southwest Virginia.

The pediatric urology team at Carilion Clinic and VTCSOM is comprised of a surgeon, a physician assistant/associate (PA), and a dedicated nurse, medical assistant, and administrative coordinator. The program primarily sees patients at the Carilion Children’s Tanglewood Center, a multi-specialty outpatient pediatric clinic with 17 specialties, child life specialists, and a lab. The surgeon and PA operate primarily at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital (CRMH), which has 24 pediatric inpatient beds, 8 Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) beds, and 60 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) beds. The team also operates at an ambulatory surgery center (Carilion Roanoke Community Hospital) and satellite operating room (Carilion New River Valley Medical Center). The program is expanding services to two additional satellite clinics (Carilion New River Valley Medical Center and Carilion Franklin Memorial Hospital) and one additional operating room location (Carilion Franklin Memorial Hospital) in the region. Pediatric urology has a complete video urodynamics program and access to da Vinci Xi and SP robotic surgery platforms.

Carilion Clinic is a physician-led, community-based, integrated academic health system associated with VTCSOM. Collectively, we are the largest not-for-profit integrated health system in Virginia. We serve over one million people in Southwest Virginia and surrounding states, with seven hospitals, 220+ physician practice locations, and 25 GME programs. This position is based primarily at Carilion Medical Center (CMC) in Roanoke, VA, a 700+ bed academic/tertiary referral center with Level 1 trauma center. VTCSOM is a fully accredited, four-year allopathic medical school founded in 2010 from a public-private partnership between Virginia Tech and Carilion Clinic. Carilion Children’s Hospital is an extension of the Carilion Clinic health system. It is the region’s only pediatric Level I trauma center, pediatric emergency department with dedicated pediatric trauma bay, PICU, and Level IIIB NICU (highest in the region). Physicians in the health system are employed through Carilion Clinic with academic appointments at VTCSOM. Carilion Clinic offers a competitive salary with incentives tied to productivity and quality criteria as well as a comprehensive benefits package including paid malpractice and tail insurance, healthcare insurance, and retirement benefits, including a fully funded pension plan.

The Roanoke Valley is a metropolitan area of more than 300,000, nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Roanoke has amenities that you'd expect from a dynamic urban center, without losing the charming feeling of a smaller place. Expansion Management named Roanoke Valley one of its Five-Start Communities for quality of life. The ranking is based on a reasonable cost of living, affordable housing, low crime, excellent transportation access, good public schools, proximity to community colleges and universities, and educated workforce and low taxes.

One of the largest hospitals in the state, Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital (CRMH) is a 703-bed hospital with an additional 60-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The facility recently completed a large expansion project, adding a new Emergency Department, Labor and Delivery unit and the Carilion Clinic Children's Hospital complete with a Pediatric Emergency Room.

In addition to offering high-tech services, the hospital is home to 30 Graduate Medical Education Programs affiliated with Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
