Emergency Medicine | Part-Time & PRN Shifts | Leavenworth, KS
Job at a glance
Job description
The Opportunity
If you're picking up shifts around a primary job, a fellowship, or a life you'd rather not rearrange, the department matters more than the rate. Saint John runs about 34 visits a day across 13 beds — a pace you can walk into cold and work safely without three days of ramp-up. It's the only community hospital serving Leavenworth, Lansing and Fort Leavenworth, so the case mix stays genuinely interesting. Take the shifts that fit. We'd rather have you eight times a year than not at all.
What You'll Own
- 12-hour shifts, single physician coverage with an APP on a mid-shift.
- About 34 visits a day and roughly 5 admissions — steady, not punishing.
- Certified Acute Stroke Ready, with telemetry, CCU and medical floors behind you.
- Epic with Dragon, so you're not fighting an unfamiliar chart at 3am.
Must-Haves
- MD or DO
- ABEM or AOBEM board certification
- Active Kansas license, or eligibility in process
- Genuine comfort as the sole physician in a community ED
Nice to Have
- Existing Kansas license — moves you through credentialing faster
- Availability for night or weekend blocks
- Prior Epic experience
What Working Here Is Actually Like
- Per-shift compensation discussed directly. You'll get a real number on the first call, not after three rounds.
- Malpractice and tail covered on PRN shifts too — not only on the full-time lines.
- Credentialing handled by a team that does this constantly.
- No minimum annual commitment. Tell us what you can cover and we'll build around it.
- Physician-owned and physician-managed since 2012. When you escalate a problem, it reaches a physician who still works clinical shifts.
- Licensure is faster than you expect if you're coming from out of state. Kansas 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
You'll be the only physician on. PRN here isn't shadowing a full-timer — you own the department for those 12 hours. That suits people who've done community emergency medicine and want the autonomy without the FTE.
