Community hospital programs with separate peds attendings?

Long time lurker, first time poster!

After being out of residency for ten years, I want to go back to a teaching hospital. I have a good resume and was chief at a good program, so I think I have a shot even though I've been out for awhile. I know it might be tough but I accept that and look forward to the challenge.

I'm willing to go to any state except pennsylvania, florida, illinois, or ohio.

I'm looking for more of a community hospital type atmosphere.
Trauma is of course fine, but don't want a knife and gun club. Primarily blunt.
It's a bonus if there are separate peds attendings - I don't mind seeing kids now but don't feel comfortable being a teaching attending at a tertiary care peds center with post transplants, etc.

Any advice of places to look at? I was looking at morgantown, maine, madison, MUSC, palmetto, maybe east carolina. Not sure if this is a good start, but want suggestions of where else to look.

Thanks!

Back of SAEM magazine usually has some listings.

Apart from ECU and WVU, you've picked quite a few tough places to get into.

True, that will be a major issue I know.
I know a lot of programs won't even look at me because of my length of time out. I wanted to go back to academics after 4 or so years but life got in the way.....
With that said, I have about as good a resume as one can have for being out ten years.

So if people want to also comment on places that would be easier to get hired, that would be great too.

I would start with a community hospital based residency. Especially if you are in it for the teaching and not the politics and research. Alot of community ED residency will ship residents out to big peds center/ED so you will mostly see asthma/fever/rash in your community ED. You can also look for the hospital that sends there residents for the community experience
