Neonatologist - Medical Director

Medical Director of Neonatology

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

A Unique Leadership Opportunity

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?

Located in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, Harrisonburg offers an exceptional blend of natural beauty, cultural vibrancy, and quality of life. Surrounded by mountain views and outdoor adventure, the area features a lively downtown, rich local culture, and easy access to Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive. 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.

Join us in delivering outstanding neonatal care while shaping the future of a program rooted in collaboration, balance, and excellence.
