Practice Information:

Join an established employed practice in River Grove, Illinois. Currently the group is composed of one FP provider and we are seeking to expand due to community need. We are seeking a bi-lingual, Spanish speaking physician to accommodate the patient population. Over 50% of the patient population is Spanish speaking with a good mix of 60% adults and 40% pediatrics.


Hours and Call requirements:
Physicians are scheduled to work 40 patient care hours a week, this includes hospital rounding. Physicians are on call for their own patients during the week and weekend call is rotated 1:2. The practice is open Monday through Friday and every other Saturday (half day). The Saturday office hours collates with the weekend call rotation. Also, physicians are given a day off during the week. The average number of week night calls is 1 call a night and the monthly average for the inpatient census is 4 to 5 a month. Physicians are required to take ED call at least once a month per the hospital bylaws.

Average daily patient census:
On a slow day the practice can see anywhere from 10-12 patients in the office and on a busy day they can see 18-25 patients a day. The new physician will have a small established patient base already and will inherit the practice of another the physician that will be retiring in early 2014.

Special procedures, training or experience needed: Family Medicine physician, open to new grad and experienced physician. Spanish speaking required.
