  • Outpatient clinic + inpatient consult mix

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary
  • Sign-on bonus

  • True program building opportunity, not a maintenance hire

  • 1.4M metro population with major airport access
  • Affordable housing and short commutes
  • Family-friendly suburbs with strong schools
  • Growing food, arts, and sports scene
  • Easy access to Dallas If you're looking for an academic Pediatric Rheumatology role where you can help build and shape a growing program, this is worth a exploring. Ashlei Landrum Call/Text:
