Inpatient responsibilities will take place in Primary Children’s Hospital Main and Lehi Campuses, and at the University of Utah and Intermountain Medical Center NICUs.

Inpatient work at Primary Children’s Hospital main campus is supported by advanced practice providers (NPs and PAs), neonatology and cardiology fellows, and pediatric residents. Outpatient responsibilities are available for the interested candidate in the neurodevelopmental follow up clinic, pulmonary hypertension clinic, and neonatal follow-up clinic. Overnight and weekend call responsibilities are divided among all division faculty in both divisions. Academic productivity in quality improvement, research, teaching, and advocacy is expected and supported.

Preclinical research is strongly supported by the Division, with active basic science labs focused in part on BPD and CDH -associated pulmonary hypertension in a lamb model, and clinical trials assessing treatments for post-op PPHN in infants with CDH . As a high altitude center, our incidence of pulmonary hypertension exceeds the national average.
