The new chief will have an opportunity to build the program
and create the vision for the Division of
Pediatric Surgery.
The Section Chief will provide leadership to the newly formed
Pediatric Surgery Section, which will serve the
pediatric surgery needs of the Lansing Campus of
MSU, CHM. In
addition to leadership responsibilities, the
Section Chief will be expected to participate in
clinical care, the teaching of medical students
and residents, and clinical or basic science
research. The
new Chief will also be responsible to assist in
the recruitment of additional faculty.
The Division of Pediatric Surgery is based at Sparrow
Hospital's Regional Children's Center, which is
the sole subspecialty
pediatric referral center in mid-Michigan as well as a Level 1
Trauma Center. The hospital has a 44-bed pediatric wing plus a 12-bed
PICU. There is also a state-of-the-art, modern, 33-bed, level
III Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (RNICU), for infants requiring acute and complex
intervention. In January 2008, Sparrow Hospital
opened the new Granger Pediatric Emergency
Department (ED), the first facility of its kind in the mid-Michigan
region. This is a full-service, around-the-clock ED equipped with
technology and furnishings designed specifically
for the care and comfort of children, ages birth
to 18 years. Sparrow Hospital also offers a
fully dually accredited pediatric residency
program sponsored by the Pediatric Departments of
MSU’s Colleges of Human Medicine and Osteopathic
Medicine. In addition, there is a fellowship-training program
in Neonatal Medicine, full complement of pediatric
subspecialty services and a Surgery residency with
a Critical Care fellowship.
