Job description
We are seeking an Emergency Medicine physician to join a hospital-licensed emergency facility in Orchard Park, New York, about 20 minutes southeast of downtown Buffalo. This medium-acuity ED sees about 30,165 visits a year, with 12 hours of daily APC support and quick access to a full-service sister hospital nearby.

It has around-the-clock access to cardiac and stroke services at a nearby sister hospital, and all trauma is transferred to a Level I trauma center in Buffalo. The facility also offers specialty care and diagnostic testing, and is part of a non-profit health care system.
