Our client has taken over the Hospitalist service at this hospital located in northern Kentucky and they have made some excellent changes to the program! However, they need more Hospitalists to join their program because the volume is increasing and they need help from August through at least the end of December, 2011! This is a 7 on/7off schedule with a Monday through Sunday rotation; 6A-6P or 6P-6A for the shifts. The patient census is 15-18 per day with about 10 total admissions in a 24-hour period. There is double coverage during the day, plus a Nurse Practitioner, and the nights are solo coverage. The ideal candidate will BC/BE in Internal Medicine and if the Hospitalist is comfortable performing ICU procedures such as central lines, vent management, and intubations, that would be great. If you're not comfortable with procedures, that's okay too, because they have all kinds of sub-specialists available on-site, including Intensivists, Anesthesiologists, Pulmonologists, and more. The Emergency Department is the first responders for codes, but the Hospitalists will respond to codes on their own patients. Credentialing for this hospital normally takes about three months, but the client is confident they can get someone working within four weeks with a clean background and a commitment to working 14 shifts per month. The pay for this opportunity is great and your travel, lodging, and medical malpractice will be covered. When your workday is over, indulge in gorgeous scenery, down-home cooking, fine restaurants, and mountains and fresh air galore! Oh yes, and there's shopping, sports, and the arts to add fun to your days! Please give us a call!
