Full-time work in our practice is described as 7 days of hospitalist work followed by 7 days off-service, and the cycle repeats itself throughout the year.
The Hospitalist will be responsible for providing comprehensive medical care to hospitalized patients, including performing physical examinations, diagnosing and treating medical conditions, ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, and developing treatment plans. The Hospitalist will work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure the highest standard of patient care and coordination.
Schedule
1 week on service alternating with 1 week off service (time-off)

These service lines enjoy specialized medical wings where nurses are highly trained in their respective fields and dedicated specialists to help in patient disease management.
