Can you help save the day? Our client has an urgent job opportunity for a locum tenens Hospitalist for their small critical access facility, located in southeastern South Carolina, starting in June 2011 and ongoing until a permanent candidate can be identified. The need for this opportunity was created by a volume increase and a doctor who retired. The ideal candidate will be Board Certified in Internal Medicine with previous Hospitalist experience and it would be nice if they had a background or working experience with Pediatrics or a Board Certified Family Practitioner who is very comfortable with the advanced ICU procedures. The Hospitalist will fly solo during the day and there will be a Family Practitioner covering the nights. This facility is a Level 3 trauma center and there is limited sub-specialty support on-site. The schedule is 7A-7P, Monday-Friday, or Monday-Sunday, whichever the locums provider prefers, and it will be a week on, week off rotation with the other Hospitalist. Patient volume per day can be as low as 12 or as high as 20, which includes 1-3 admissions per day. The Emergency Department will provide backup support, as well as General Surgeons, Orthopedics, and Nurses. If a patient must be transferred out, there are two other facilities close by. When you are done working for the day, there is much to do in this beautiful community. Not only does this area boast some of the friendliest people in the country, but you will find yourself in the midst of one of the state's favorite recreational spots complete with bass fish-stocked lakes, camping grounds, hiking trails, water sports, and quaint little restaurants and cafes! What a way to unwind after saving lives and healing the sick! Credentialing can be completed in as little as two to three weeks. Your travel, lodging, and medical malpractice will be paid, in addition to a great pay! What are you waiting for? Give us a call!
