Chief Medical Resident

Our organization is currently looking for a full-time Section Chief of Gastroenterology to join our team at Riverside University Health System. We encourage candidates with experience in General Gastroenterology to apply.

The Gastroenterology Section Chief will oversee the leadership, management, and administration of the GI Division at RUHS. This role encompasses responsibilities in Endoscopy services, outpatient and inpatient clinical activities, education, and research. The Chief will collaborate closely with the Head of GI at our affiliated university to achieve the institution's objectives and mission.

The position includes a mix of clinical responsibilities, featuring inpatient coverage alongside outpatient endoscopy and clinic duties. All facilities, including the clinic, endoscopy, and offices, are conveniently located on-site, eliminating the need for commuting. We allocate dedicated time each week during outpatient periods for professional and leadership development. Active participation in the education of fellows, residents, and students is a key expectation. The Gastroenterology Division at RUHS consists of three physicians and four advanced practice providers, one of whom will assist during inpatient weeks, focusing on a broad range of community-based GI specialties, including general GI, pancreatic biliary, third space endoscopy, hepatology, IBD, and motility.

Our work environment is highly collaborative, productive, and centered on patient care and education. The facility is equipped with advanced technologies such as GI Genius, Capsule Endoscopy, Manometry (including Endo Flip), Smart Pill, and BRAVO, along with a fleet of Olympus 190s, including EUS and ERCP scopes.

We have established capabilities in Interventional Gastroenterology, including POEM, Endoscopic suturing, ESD, Spyglass, and Hybrid APC, among others. On-site research support is available for both clinical and population-based studies, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Dedicated anesthesia coverage is also provided.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to serving underserved populations and will primarily work at the RUHS location. For candidates with administrative expertise, there is potential for a leadership role in academic or GI endoscopy operations. The hospital administration offers robust support, and our clinical partners are highly collaborative. The system is dedicated to meeting the needs of productive physicians.
