Nocturnist Sought! We manage our own hospitalist program and currently employs 14 full time board certified internal medicine hospitalists. Six physicians cover the day shift/ two physiciasn cover nights. One physician serves as the admitting physician during a 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. shift.
Average daily census is 15 per provider with a cap at 20. Hospitalists provide ED unassigned coverage, care for transfers and in-hospital consults. They also provide limited coverage for some primary care physicians. A face to face post shift conference with oncoming hospitalists is held for the daytime providers. There is 24 hour ED, anesthesia and radiology coverage. Excellent subspecialty support. Pulmonolgists are in the hospital 12 hours daily and assist with ventilator management; however, ICU management is part of the hospitalist duties. 12 hour shifts 7 am-7p, 7p to 7 am (the schedule is provider friendly and no 7 days shifts are scheduled unless it reflects a physician's preferences.)
