Job Requirements

Academic Pediatric GI Opportunity | Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia | Exceptional Quality of Life

Practice Great Medicine. Live an Extraordinary Life.

What if you didn't have to choose between an outstanding academic career and the life you want outside of medicine?

At Carilion Children's Hospital in Roanoke, Virginia, you'll join a respected academic pediatric gastroenterology program where collaboration, innovation, and mentorship are part of everyday practice.

Just as importantly, you'll build your career in one of the most livable mountain communities in the country—where a 10-minute commute replaces hours in traffic and weekends are spent hiking, biking, boating, or enjoying a vibrant downtown with family and friends.

Whether you're completing fellowship or looking for your next career move, you'll find the professional support, clinical breadth, and lifestyle that make this an exceptional place to call home.

Why You'll Love Living in Roanoke

Choosing your next practice is about more than the hospital.

It's about finding a community where your family thrives, your hobbies flourish, and life outside medicine feels just as rewarding as life inside the hospital.

Nestled in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, Roanoke offers something increasingly rare: the amenities of a vibrant metropolitan area with the pace and affordability of a welcoming mountain community.

Imagine finishing clinic and being on a hiking trail, mountain bike, lake, or golf course within minutes.

Residents Enjoy

• Nationally recognized hiking, trail running, and mountain biking
• The Blue Ridge Parkway and Appalachian Trail just minutes away
• Smith Mountain Lake for boating, fishing, and waterfront living
• Kayaking on the Roanoke, James, and New Rivers
• Four distinct but mild seasons
• Award-winning public schools, magnet programs, and outstanding private schools
• A thriving downtown with restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, arts, music, and festivals
• Symphony, opera, museums, theater, and cultural events throughout the year

Easy travel through Roanoke-Blacksburg. Regional Airport and Amtrak service to Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York, and beyond

Perhaps the greatest luxury is time. Instead of spending an hour commuting each day, most physicians are home in 10 to 15 minutes—giving them more time for family dinners, soccer games, mountain adventures, and simply enjoying life. It's one of the reasons so many physicians come for an opportunity and stay for a career.
