COMPANY PROFILE:
This private practice opened in 2010 and, today, employs 2 physicians and 2 nurse practitioners, along with a robust support staff of nurses, medical assistants, and other talented healthcare personnel. In addition to operating a primary care outpatient office in Port Charlotte, the practice's providers round at local skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and sometimes follow patients into local hospitals (where credentialed). The practice is currently growing and is excited to welcome a new physician to their team.


POSITION DESCRIPTION:
The new physician will spend approximately 50% of their time in the Port Charlotte internal medicine office (a traditional outpatient, private practice setting) and 50% of their time rounding at local skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), with occasional visits to local hospitals to follow practice patients (usually admitted SNF residents) - hospital work is not a large component of the role.

The practice does offer some flexibility in scheduling and will accommodate, for example, a split day between office and SNFs or scheduling dedicated days for each setting. The physician-owner and scheduling team will be happy to work with the new provider in this regard.

In a full SNF day, a physician typically sees 30 - 35 patients and is accompanied by an RN. The RN will complete all charting via EHR on a laptop, so the physician can focus solely on the patient visit. The RN will also prep the patients and assist however necessary.

In a full office day, a physician sees 20 patients. These visits are also fully supported by an RN who completes the charting, preps the patient, etc.

If needed, the practice will arrange for credentialing at local hospitals, so that the physician may follow admitted patients. This is typically only relevant for SNF residents and is a minor component of the clinical work.

In all settings, 90% or more of patients are aged 55 and above.

On-call is largely handled by the nurse practitioners. There is a physician designated as the back-up, in case a matter needs to be escalated. If the new physician would like to participate in the on-call rotation to receive extra compensation, the practice will accommodate that.


REQUIREMENTS:
- Florida medical license
- DEA
- Board Certified or Eligible, relevant field
