Our client has several locums Hospitalist job opportunities within their central Virginia facility starting in March and going through the summer of 2011. This could mean some big dollars for you, since the rate of pay is great! The right candidates will be BC Family Practice and/or Internal Medicine physicians with a strong comfort level with ICU procedures, such as central lines, vent management and intubations, and the ability to fly solo, if necessary, with codes and rapid responses. The schedule is flexible as far as the block scheduling, whether you prefer 7 on/off or 5 on/off, or they are willing to get creative with you. The shifts are 12-hours of 7A - 7P or 7P - 7A. Candidates need to be flexible too, such as in the ability to work blocks of days alternating with blocks of nights. No after-hours beeper call, so you can enjoy the community when the day is over. Patient encounters are 11-20 per day, which includes 3-5 admissions per day. Responsibilities include rounding, consults, admissions, and discharges. The need for Family Practice comes with the fact that there is a good-sized pediatric population within this community and the Hospitalist must be comfortable caring for young people. There’s lots of sub-specialty support with this job, such as General Surgeons, CRNAs, Pulmonology, and more. After work, enjoy the community which includes the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains, lakes, whitewater rafting, theater, and more! You are literally 30 miles from one city which offers a thriving nightlife and another city which is culturally alive with history and charm! Credentialing takes a while, so let’s not waste time! The faster you call, the faster you start making the big bucks!
