Gastroenterology Opportunity With Flexible Model
The retirement of a physician and increasing patient volume require the addition of a GI physician able to see a steady stream of outpatients in a week and perform a large volume of procedure on a yearly basis. The remaining partner shares weekday and weekend call with another private group on campus, 1 in 5 weekday/weekend. He is able to provide a partnership track, go solo and share overhead of office space/staff, including the practice's Nurse Practitioner, or employ a new physician directly. ERCP training is preferred, but not required. Huge demand in the community has resulted in a 6-month wait for screening colonoscopies at both independent practices in town. An incoming physician will have a full, vibrant practice immediately.
Financial/Incentive Package:
- Salary competitive, income guarantee first year.
- Generous benefits package.
- Partnership after 1st year OR solo/shared overhead option after 1st year.
- Annual retirement fund contribution.
- Pent-up volume guarantees short practice build-up period.
- Well-run practice with good collections and overhead
- Weekday call every 5th day. Weekends shared with other practice, every 5th weekend
