Gastroenterology Opportunity With Flexible Model
The retirement of a physician and increasing patient volume
require the addition of a GI physician able to see a steady stream
of outpatients in a week and perform a large volume of procedure on
a yearly basis.
The remaining partner shares weekday and weekend call with
another private group on campus, 1 in 5 weekday/weekend. He is able
to provide a partnership track, go solo and share overhead of
office space/staff, including the practice's Nurse Practitioner, or
employ a new physician directly. ERCP training is preferred, but
not required.
Huge demand in the community has resulted in a 6-month wait for
screening colonoscopies at both independent practices in town. An
incoming physician will have a full, vibrant practice
immediately.
Package
- Salary competitive, income guarantee first year.
- Generous benefits package.
- Partnership after 1st year OR solo/shared overhead option after
1st year.
- Annual retirement fund contribution.
- Pent-up volume guarantees short practice build-up period.
