Pediatric Assistant Medical Director in Summit, NJ

Step into leadership as our assistant medical director. TeamHealth has an opportunity for a pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) physician to join our team in Summit, New Jersey. Are you ready to take your PEM career to the next level? We are seeking a fellowship-trained, board certified or board eligible pediatric emergency medicine physician to step into a high-impact leadership role as assistant medical director at Overlook Medical Center.

This is a rare opportunity to work in a dedicated pediatric emergency department (ED) within a nationally acclaimed hospital, while advancing your career in clinical leadership. In this dual-role, you'll share AMD responsibilities across both the adult and pediatric EDs, reporting directly to the chair of emergency medicine (EM) and receiving hands-on mentorship from both the chair and pediatric medical director.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Leadership Growth: Designed for PEM physicians ready to lead and grow, whether you're early in your leadership journey or looking to build on prior experience
• Mentorship and Support: Direct access to supportive medical leadership with a track record of success
• Community and Lifestyle: Live in Summit, one of New Jersey's most desirable towns, offering direct train access to Manhattan, award-winning public schools, and a vibrant, walkable downtown
