Northern Californian “University-town” Family Medicine Position
Job Description:
Hello Doctor,
Enloe Medical Center is a 391-bed, level II trauma center located in the vibrant Northern Californian city of Chico. It offers the North Valley a full continuum of health services ranging from preventative education and outpatient services to acute care, behavioral health, inpatient rehabilitation and home health and hospice services. Serving more than 400,000 residents in a six-county region in Northern California, we provide quality, compassionate, cost-effective care to our patients. Enloe Medical Center encompasses seven separate facilities, and is the only hospital in Chico. It is currently undergoing a $158 million expansion.
Chico is an extremely easy place to live. It has a pleasant, small town atmosphere with no long commutes. At the same time, the influence of California State University at Chico ensures a sophisticated and varied choice of cultural and entertainment activities. Chico has an excellent public school system and abundant opportunities for outdoor activities. Very few locations can provide palm trees AND pine trees. Our accommodating Mediterranean climate offers almost 300 days of sunshine a year. While we’ll give you all 4 seasons, our average daily high in the dead of winter is 54˚F. At the same time, abundant snow is just thirty minutes up the mountains. We’re home to one of the largest municipal parks in the nation at over 3,600 acres. It has miles of engaging trails to hike, bike, or ride horses. Amongst many other awards, we’ve been recognized as:
- “America’s #1 Place to Live” by Forbes Magazine
- Ranked #17 in Farmers Insurance list of "Most Secure Cities"
- We were judged the 16th “Most Healthy City in America” by Organic Style magazine
- Chico was also named "America's Best Bike Town" by Bicycle magazine
Chico's downtown is a thriving area for unique, independent retail shops and restaurants. Farmer's markets attract crowds on Saturday mornings and Thursday evenings. The City Plaza hosts free concerts regularly during the summer. Performance venues large and small, bars, coffee shops, book stores and city offices contribute to a lively and flavorful experience.There is easy access to many end-destination locales including; Lake Tahoe, Mt. Shasta, Sacramento, Napa Valley, San Francisco, Reno, the California coast, and Mendocino.
Chico has an excellent public school system. In addition to the full compliment of athletic options, schools offer A.P., “College Connection,” “Young Scholars,” and “International Baccalaureate” programs.
We do have a Hospitalist Program. There a couple of different practice scenarios which can accommodate you here. The most likely scenario involves you joining Argyll Medical Group; a Primary Care-oriented group of five physicians and one P.A. The practice is mostly adult, few children, 100% Outpatient. They do not do Obstetrics. There is no tradition of Fps doing OB in Chico, as there are plenty of Ob/Gyns and Midwives to handle that. Call is phone only. Those who do want to do inpatient can make $50K - $80K more per year but most choose not to. Most patients under 18 go to local Pediatricians. It is quite possible to pursue special interests in the group. Many in the group do. The group is very efficiently run with an average overhead percentage of approximately 41%; which includes the cost of a practice management service. Income potential is upwards of $200,000 annually. You’ll initially enter practice under a hospital-supplied Income Guarantee, but will transition quickly into a production-based income model.
