This is a mid-sized Hospitalist group with 3 interns. Supervision required. These Nocturnists work within all areas of the hospital (minus ICU). Patient population is Adult/Geriatric with 10-20% being 18-25 in age. Provider will see anywhere between 5-10 patients (direct contact) a shift and will serve as the in-house backup. More complicated patients equal less than 5 per night. Will serve as backup for codes/rapid response. Will not be responsible for doing H&P on own, but will go over H&P with interns (Hospitalist group only, 5-15 patients total/night). Consults required as part of duties. Patient population includes General Medicine, to include Pnuemonia, COPD, Stroke/TIA, Cellulitis, Diabetes, Blood Clots, and AFIB. There is an Intensivist on staff, therefore ICU medicine is NOT part of this assignment.
