Opportunity Highlights:
•    UT Health is the only comprehensive pediatric academic teaching center in San Antonio and has a thriving relationship with University Hospital, a premier Level I trauma center, which houses a brand-new 300 bed women’s and children’s hospital that includes 20 LD rooms and a Level IV state-of-the-art NICU offering families private, single-family rooms, consolidating on pediatric inpatient services.

•    Leadership development and external educational opportunities will be made to applicants who demonstrate interest and tangible skills as an emerging leader in clinical expertise, education or research,   
•    UT Health recently entered in an exclusive employment contract with the premier pediatric anesthesia group in San Antonio, which will now provide exclusive anesthesia support to all pediatric sub-specialty services, creating more opportunities to expand.
•    This is an excellent opportunity for physicians who have a passion to work with health disparities and underserved patient populations. The patient mix for pediatrics is 66 percent Latino.
•    UT Health’s Cystic Fibrosis center is fully accredited by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and is a designated Therapeutic Development Center, which allows the division to bring clinical trials of new, cutting-edge therapies to patients to enhance survival and work toward a cure for CF. 
•    Academic promotion occurs through the UT Health Long School of Medicine. The Department is open to supporting executive coaching through an internal Executive Development Program and AMSPDC resources for those who have interest in future leadership roles 

Rich in intellectual and cultural diversity, San Antonio is home to 2.5 million and offers a warm, friendly, and family-centric community. The city is located on the cusp of the Texas Hill Country with easy access to several lakes and rivers for those who enjoy water recreation, but perhaps it is best known for its micropolitan, family-centric atmosphere with big city amenities including the San Antonio Spurs, the Pearl District, the revitalized Riverwalk and downtown area and numerous shopping centers, outdoor malls and world-class dining.  It is an ideal location for raising a family, but also offers multiple activities for singles, including urban living spaces, year-round concerts and festivals.
