Our client is seeking a locums Hospitalist to help with their new program in south central New Mexico starting December 2010 and ongoing for at least six months and possibly longer. The right candidate for this job opportunity will be BC Internal Medicine and have strong abilities to perform ICU procedures, such as central lines, vent management, and intubations. The shifts are 7A - 7P and 7P - 7A and this job calls for flexibility for the provider to work some days and some nights. We have the full schedule, so please inquire. There’s lots of sub-specialty support, including a code response team and a midlevel; the provider is on single coverage during the day and at night. The patient census can be aggressive, with the average census of about 15 ppd day with 1 or 2 admissions, but the census can go up to 25 ppd. Credentialing can literally be done within a week with a clean record and the pay is excellent! This would make a great full-time locums opportunity, particularly for someone who would like to get a jump on paying off the Christmas bills early!
