Tremendous Gastroenterology locum tenens job opportunity in beautiful western Kentucky. This two-location, private practice is currently operated by one physician who is in dire need of assistance. Locums coverage will be needed for sporadic vacations and summer/fall holidays throughout 2011; the need for locums-to-perm and permanent candidates is immediate. A typical day is Monday - Friday, 8:00a – 5:00p, spread between both locations (one location per day). All candidates must be BC/BE and comfortable with Colonoscopy, Endoscopy, EGD, PEGS, and Pill-cam is a plus. Spyglass (ERCP with a scope), ERCP, and Ultrasound experience is preferable and welcomed, especially for permanent candidates. One can expect a medium-high patient volume (2,300 cases per year, 8-12 per day average). The draw area from one practice alone is nearly 200,000 and almost that for the other, so there is plenty of growth potential! Full support staff and dedicated office staff also make this a very efficient practice. This position offers travel and lodging, malpractice insurance, and a very competitive wage for locums candidates. Permanent candidates will also receive an excellent compensation plan, benefit package, and partnership opportunity. Hospital privileges will be needed at two local hospitals, but may not be necessary for locums physicians. This location is a great place for raising a family with excellent public and private school districts. It is right near the Ohio River and offers many outdoor attractions. Only two hours form Louisville, Nashville, and Lexington, this is Kentucky's number one sports town per Sports Illustrated. Major universities, breathtaking landscape, and small-town charm make this a very desirable opportunity and setting for the right ambitious physicians.
