Rochester, New York Pediatric Nephrologist Locum Tenens Opportunity
Academic Pediatric Nephrology • Dialysis & CRRT • Kidney Transplant Program • Epic EMR

Rhino Medical is leading the charge seeking a Board Certified Pediatric Nephrologist for a locum tenens opportunity in Rochester, New York , beginning September 2026.

This is a highly specialized opportunity to join an established academic Pediatric Nephrology program providing comprehensive kidney care for infants, children, and adolescents across the spectrum of acute and chronic renal disease.

The program combines inpatient and outpatient Pediatric Nephrology, acute and chronic dialysis, CRRT, and pediatric kidney transplantation within a multidisciplinary children's hospital environment. The division works closely with Pediatric Urology and Transplant Surgery and has dedicated dialysis and transplant resources.

Opportunity Highlights

  • Rochester, New York
  • Pediatric Nephrologist
  • Locum Tenens
  • September 14–December 31, 2026
  • Day and overnight coverage
  • Weekday and weekend coverage
  • Epic EMR
  • Academic Pediatric Nephrology environment
  • Acute & Chronic Hemodialysis
  • Acute & Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis
  • CRRT
  • Pediatric Kidney Transplant Care
  • Paid Travel & Expenses

Schedule

Coverage may include:

  • Day: 8:00 AM–4:30 PM
  • Overnight: 4:30 PM–8:00 AM
  • Weekend Coverage: 4:30 PM–8:00 AM, Friday through Monday

Specific scheduling will be coordinated based on coverage needs and provider availability.

Clinical Practice

This is a comprehensive Pediatric Nephrology program—not a general pediatric consult assignment.

The division treats children with conditions including:

  • Acute and chronic kidney disease
  • Kidney failure
  • Hypertension
  • Nephrotic syndrome
  • Lupus nephritis
  • Kidney stones
  • Dialysis-dependent renal disease
  • Pediatric kidney transplantation

The program provides both inpatient and outpatient care and works collaboratively with Pediatric Urology, Transplant Surgery, and other pediatric specialties.

Dialysis & Renal Replacement Therapy

Physicians should be comfortable supporting a sophisticated pediatric renal replacement program.

Clinical capabilities include:

  • Acute and chronic hemodialysis
  • Acute and chronic peritoneal dialysis
  • Continuous renal replacement therapy
  • Inpatient dialysis
  • Outpatient hemodialysis
  • Home peritoneal dialysis support

The program maintains dedicated pediatric peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis resources, including family training, nutrition and social-service support.

The children's hospital also reports specialized capability with CARPEDIEM , a renal replacement platform designed for very small pediatric patients, and states that it was only the second U.S. hospital trained and proficient in its use.

Pediatric Kidney Transplant Program

The Pediatric Nephrology team works in conjunction with transplant specialists to support children throughout the kidney transplant continuum.

The program includes coordination of:

  • Pre-transplant renal management
  • Dialysis while awaiting transplantation
  • Kidney transplantation
  • Post-transplant and long-term renal care

The pediatric program works with the Division of Solid Organ Transplantation at the adjoining academic medical center, which is recognized as a UNOS transplant center .

Multidisciplinary Support

This is an established Pediatric Nephrology division with pediatric nephrologists, an advanced practice nurse, registered nurses, a registered dietitian, and social work support.

The broader children's hospital provides access to an extensive pediatric specialty network including Critical Care, Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Hospital Medicine, Infectious Disease, Neurology, Pulmonology, Rheumatology, Pediatric Surgery, Urology, and Transplant Surgery.

Candidate Requirements

  • MD or DO
  • Board Certified in Pediatric Nephrology
  • Appropriate New York medical licensure/credentialing for assignment
  • Pediatric Nephrology experience
  • Comfortable with acute and chronic hemodialysis
  • Comfortable with acute and chronic peritoneal dialysis
  • CRRT experience
  • Pediatric kidney transplant experience
  • Ability to participate in the required day, overnight, and weekend coverage structure

Why Pediatric Nephrologists Move on This Opportunity

  • True Subspecialty Practice – Comprehensive Pediatric Nephrology rather than general pediatric coverage.
  • Advanced Renal Replacement Therapy – HD, PD and CRRT within an established pediatric program.
  • Kidney Transplant Exposure – Work within a multidisciplinary pediatric transplant environment.
  • Academic Medicine – Practice within a children's hospital connected to a major academic medical center and Pediatric Nephrology fellowship program.
  • Defined Assignment Window – September through December coverage.
  • Travel Supported – Paid travel and assignment-related expenses.

The Pediatric Nephrology program has also received national recognition in the 2024–2025 U.S. News & World Report Best Children's Hospitals rankings , adding legitimate recruiting value without needing to disclose the facility's identity in the advertisement.
