Looking to live amongst the gorgeous countryside, breathtaking landscapes, numerous outdoor activities, and be only minutes from friendly downtown atmospheres? This is all possible if you are a Board Certified or Board Eligible Pediatrician looking for a locum tenens opportunity for some extra weekend work in beautiful South Dakota. A very well-known hospital in the central area of the state is looking for some additional locum tenens weekend coverage for the current Pediatrician on staff. The need is for one or two weekends per month (Friday at 5pm until Monday at 5am). This shift is strictly a CALL shift with no required on-site coverage. However, the Pediatrician must respond to all calls via cell phone / pager and report to the facility when deemed necessary. They see an average of 450 births per year. The majority of the work will consist of taking care of sick newborns in the nursery, as well as assist with high-risk C-sections. They are not required to perform any C-sections or attend all of them. Candidates must have NRP certification. This need could turn into more work depending on the candidate’s availability and how the census reacts at the facility over the next few months. There is a quick privileging process and the need starts now and is ongoing! Interested candidates should call today!
