No Visa's. Internal Medicine Opportunity in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. This is a traditional Practice with Inpatient and Outpatient Care. Hospitalists cover admissions after hours. Join a twelve member internal medicine group located in the Blue Ridge Mountains. They are currently seeking to add two general internists to the group. They are the only internal medicine group serving the county of 50,000 full-time residents and a large number of seasonal summer residents. They currently have six general internists, two gastroenterologists, two rheumatologists, a pulmonologist, and a neurologist. The community currently is experiencing difficulty with adequate access to primary care physicians. The six general internists are all limited in their ability to accommodate new patients and there are excessively long waiting periods for appointments. They anticipate that a new internist would be quite busy immediately. The office is adjacent to the hospital. The group has on-site lab and x-ray services. Most physicians in the group work 4 days a week. Call is 1 in 6.
