The Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and The Howard Phillips Center for Children & Families are looking for the next generation of Child Abuse Pediatricians to support the Central Florida community. We are actively seeking a full-time Child Abuse Pediatrician to serve as the Medical Director for our Child Protection Team.

 Board Certified Pediatricians and Family Medicine physicians are encouraged to apply. Ideal candidates will have a minimum of three (3) years experience in the field of child abuse and neglect, one year of which involves supervision of other physicians and/or advanced practice registered nurses.

This is an exciting opportunity to grow an already existing team of experienced clinicians. We are looking for an innovative leader to further develop and modernize our Child Protective Team. The current CPT team has 3 Pediatricians and 3 APRNs that cover the greater Central Florida community and serve 3 local childrens hospitals.

About the Child Protection Team:

The Child Protection Team provides the upfront assessment services of the Childrens Advocacy Center to aid the Department of Children and Families and law enforcement in assessing child abuse and neglect. The Child Protection Team is comprised of physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, and case coordinators who provide a variety of medical and social assessments culminating in recommendations being made for the protection and ongoing wellness of the child and family. As the second largest Child Protection Team in Florida, approximtely 3,000 children were served last year with nearly 2,000 medical assessments provided for those children. Services are provided in Orange and Osceola counties. The team sees patients from our local district as well as offers a consultation service for more critically ill patients from several surrounding counties typically covered by other teams. The Child Abuse Team is fully supported by the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and their 130 pediatric specialists who collaborate with us to foster the health and well-being of the children we serve. The law enforcement, legal and childrens services communities work side by side with our medical team to ensure the best environment possible after allegations of abuse and neglect.
