Job Description:
This position is going to be a true Emergency Medicine position,
in a fast-paced environment seeing a lot of older patients with
around 60% above the age of 55-60. There is a very large volume of
strokes, heart attacks and sepsis that is seen. Sepsis is
especially high, and they will need providers who are more than
proficient in recognizing this condition and know how to deal with
it quickly and efficiently. Four physicians work in the hospital at
once and they use a pod system. Each pod has their own unit of
13-beds, and each physician is essentially managing their own
department during their shift. They will have their own nursing
staff, and everything comes along with that, and it will basically
run as a self-sufficient pod.There is not a trauma designation at
this facility, but they can do just about everything other than
neurosurgery and oral maxillofacial surgeries. They have a
fantastic interventional radiology, general and vascular surgery
departments and an extremely robust cardiovascular department which
includes a cardiothoracic program that performs open heart surgery.
Physicians are expected to work a total of 120-hours a month that
include an even number of both day and night shifts but can be
completed through 9, 10 and 12-hour shifts. They would be very
interested in a provider who would like to work exclusively
nights.Job Specifics:Required procedural strengths: tracheal
intubation; central venous line (catheter); complex
lacerationsProviders are expected to do obviously the airway and we
do come across some very difficult airways. So, the physician needs
to be very competent with the airways. Obviously, centralized chest
tubes, fracture reductions, dislocation reductions, shoulder
reduction. This is due to the patient population that they are
working with because they see a lot of strokes, heart attacks and,
sepsis.Providers should be comfortable with difficult airways as
well as external pacing but not float their own pacemakers or
perform coiling procedures for brain bleeds.
