Our client has an urgent job opportunity for a locums Hospitalist to jump on board and help out in their facility, located in gorgeous central Tennessee, starting in March 2011 and ongoing until they can find a permanent physician. The ideal candidate will be Board Certified in Internal Medicine and very comfortable performing ICU procedures, such as central lines, vent management, and intubations, along with running codes and rapid responses. The schedule is not currently a typical 7 on/7off, but the client is offering more flexibility with the schedule, and if a Hospitalist provider would like to work 24-hour shifts, the client will accommodate that and still guarantee the physician up to 18 shifts a month. The shifts are 7A - 7P, 10A -6P, and 7P - 7A, and no after-hours beeper call, since this is a 24/7 in-house program. There is dual coverage, plus the floater during the day and single coverage at night. The total patient volume per day, split between the physicians, is 42-45 ppd with 8-10 total daily admissions. The Hospitalist would be responsible for rounding, admissions, discharges, and consults, in addition to running codes and rapid responses. The location of this facility is a real bright spot because it's right in center of a triangle of three major cities which each boast their own special events and attractions, such as street fairs, outdoor concerts, outdoor shops, indoor cafe's, and music houses. Did we mention this place is a hotbed for country music, art galleries, interesting architecture, and some of the best home cooking you've ever tasted? Don't take our word for it - call us and let us get the credentialing process started. It usually takes 4-6 weeks, but they are willing to do emergency credentialing to insure you can get going right away! The pay is excellent and the client will cover travel and lodging, so give us a call and don't miss this great job opportunity!
