Emergency Medicine | 20,000+ Annual Visits | Waterfront Michigan | Port Huron, MI
Job at a glance
Job description
The Opportunity
A 139-bed Prime Healthcare hospital on the St. Clair River, running over 20,000 emergency visits a year — about 53 a day — through a 15-bed department with private rooms and dedicated parking. Primary Stroke Center, with cardiac, oncology, orthopaedic, surgical and inpatient rehabilitation services on site. Port Huron is genuine waterfront living at a cost that has nothing to do with Metro Detroit, which is still an easy drive when you want it.
What You'll Own
- A community department of real size — 53 visits a day through 15 private rooms.
- Physician and APP coverage on the schedule together.
- Primary Stroke Center pathways, with cardiac and surgical services on site.
- Up to about 14 shifts a month on a 12-hour day and night rotation.
Must-Haves
- MD or DO
- Board certified or board eligible in Emergency Medicine preferred
- Michigan license, or eligibility in process
Nice to Have
- Prior stroke centre experience
- Community ED background
- Epic familiarity
What Working Here Is Actually Like
- $345,000–$365,000 annually at full-time volume, independent contractor.
- Malpractice and tail both covered. Tail is the one people forget to ask about until they leave.
- Epic.
- A 15-bed department with private rooms and dedicated parking — small things, but you notice them every shift.
- Physician-owned and physician-managed since 2012. When you escalate a problem, it reaches a physician who still works clinical shifts.
- Not a locums agency. An ongoing program position with a named, stable team.
- Waterfront living on Lake Huron and the St. Clair River. Boating, beaches and outdoor recreation, with Metro Detroit an easy drive and a cost of living well below it.
- Licensure is faster than you expect if you're coming from out of state. Michigan participates in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, so if you already hold a qualifying license elsewhere, adding this one typically runs one to three weeks rather than months.
Straight Talk
There is no trauma designation noted at this site, which means significant trauma moves. Confirm the current designation with us directly — our own records flag it as unconfirmed, and we'd rather tell you that than guess. Fifty-three visits a day through fifteen beds also means the department fills; it is busy work.
