Our client, located in northeastern Tennessee, has a job opportunity for two locums BC/BE Internal Medicine/Hospitalists to jump in and help out with their 24/7 in-house program starting in March until they can identify two permanent candidates. They currently have three Hospitalists in the program and a volume increase it what’s causing the need. These are 7 on/off shifts of 7a - 7p and 7p - 7a. There is dual coverage during the day, with 18-20 ppd and the Nocturnist shift is solo with about 40 floor patients, but there’s a ton of sub-specialty support during the day and support that covers 24 hours, so even the Nocturnist won’t be totally alone. It’s important that the providers be very comfortable performing ICU procedures, including central lines, vent management, and intubations, and be able to run codes and rapid responses. There’s Pulm, Card, CRNA, and ED support to assist, but this job would not be a fit for those uncomfortable with procedures. Responsibilities include rounding, admissions, discharges, and consults. Privileging can be done on an emergency basis because the need is great - but then, so is the pay! The client will cover your travel and lodging too! Please give us a call on this one because they will make immediate decisions upon interviews. This facility is located in gorgeous northeastern Tennessee where there’s plenty of fun things to do when you have time off, such as visiting area parks, lakes, and outdoor recreation, and experiencing the extraordinary landmarks, overhead sidewalks and, of course, the mountains!
