Neonatologist - Medical Director

Overview

Medical Director of Neonatology

Lead, Influence, and Thrive in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
Open to Commuters

A Unique Leadership Opportunity Responsibilities

Pediatrix Medical Group is seeking an experienced Neonatologist to serve as Medical Director for a 7‑bed Level II NICU and well‑baby nursery in Harrisonburg, Virginia. This position is ideal for a physician leader who values hands‑on clinical excellence, programmatic influence, and a sustainable lifestyle—all within a supportive, highly engaged hospital environment.

As Medical Director, you will have the opportunity to shape clinical standards, guide quality initiatives, and serve as a trusted clinical leader, while maintaining a predictable and balanced schedule.

Why This Role Stands Out

Meaningful Medical Leadership

• Serve as the clinical and operational leader for neonatal services
• Influence care delivery, quality, and practice standards in a close‑knit program
• Partner with engaged hospital leadership that values physician input and collaboration

Flexible, Lifestyle‑Friendly Structure

• Home call model with 10 24‑hour shifts per month
• Block scheduling, making this an ideal role for commuting physicians
• A structure designed to support longevity, balance, and professional satisfaction

Strong Support, Big‑System Resources

• Backed by the Pediatrix national network of neonatologists, offering peer support, best practices, and clinical resources
• Virtual collaboration with UVA pediatric subspecialists, ensuring access to expert consultation while maintaining local autonomy
• A model that combines independent leadership with system‑level support

Why Harrisonburg, Virginia?

With affordable living, minimal commute times, and a strong sense of community, Harrisonburg is an ideal location for physicians seeking both professional fulfillment and personal balance.

Lead With Purpose

This is a rare opportunity to step into a true Medical Director role—one where your leadership is valued, your clinical expertise matters, and your lifestyle remains protected.
