Small rural hospital, located in southwestern Michigan, is looking for weekend relief coverage for four full-time Internists. With this job opportunity, the candidate will be working every other weekend starting as soon as credentialing can get turned around. Candidate will be on call when not on-site and will be going in everyday to round on patients. When on call, physician may be required to perform consults with other specialties, as well as some admits and discharges (ER does not handle admissions). Admissions are done by the staff physicians on call; i.e. the Internist/Hospitalist on call, and most discharges are done before the weekend. On-site coverage varies and when busy averages 6-10 patients per day. Physician needs to be comfortable with ICU procedures, intubations, and central lines. Physician will be required to perform stress tests and manage mechanical ventilators. Schedule will be every other weekend; Friday 6pm to Monday 6am, for 60-hour total coverage. This opportunity is great; you are minutes from the shoreline, historical areas, access to charter fishing, state parks, forests, and more! This is a beautiful area of Michigan and would be the perfect weekend getaway for the rest of the family!
