Join a Collegial Practice Where You Thrive

Sound Physicians, a physician-founded and led organization, focuses on improving quality, patient satisfaction, and ICU performance. Our model is designed to challenge the status quo and transform the way critical care is provided. This is accomplished by our relentless pursuit to create value and eliminate waste in the ICU, implementing critical care programs that focus on improving the lives of patients while creating value for our hospital partners.

We ensure that physicians have the time and resources needed to deliver compassionate care that measurably improves quality and lowers the cost of healthcare for patients in the communities we serve. Our culture promotes physician autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Physicians have the ability to effectively participate in the process of change management within the community hospital ICU setting.

The Team – The Hospital

We are looking for a Physician to join our familial Intensivist program in Las Vegas, NV. This is a unique opportunity to teach residents in a private practice model in the heart of Las Vegas!

We are one team providing ICU care at Dignity Health St Rose Dominican Siena and St Rose Dominican San Martin Campuses. Each is a state-of-the-art facility that will be starting internal medicine residency programs in July 2023 – one will be based at Siena and the other at San Martin.

Siena Campus:

  • 30-bed med/surg ICU & 20-bed CVICU that is ECMO capable
  • High acuity, community hospital in partnership with Stanford Clinic’s cardiovascular and thoracic surgery program
  • 2 intensivists & 2 APP’s from 7a-7p; 1 Intensivist & 1 APP from 7p-7a

San Martín Campus:

  • 25-bed ICU with medical & surgical patients
  • We are expanding our model to include 24/7 in-house intensivist coverage – i.e. 1 Intensivist 7a-7p, 1 Intensivist 7p-7a.
  • “Best Place to Have a Baby” in the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s annual readers’ poll.
  • Named by Healthcare Business & Technology as the eighth most beautiful hospital in the world

This facility offers a cutting-edge integrated care program with Sound managing the hospitalist and critical care services. With the goal of always improving patient care and experience, our processes streamline transitions from the ICU to inpatient admissions. We believe that clinical integration between the critical care and hospital medicine teams is imperative. Using our proven processes, our clinical teams align to streamline inter-department handoffs and improve clinical performance and patient experience.

  • H1B eligible facility; access to Sound’s in-house visa specialists as well as our licensing and credentialing experts; all required filing fees for the visa are paid and services covered
  • Ability to work as a team member
  • Must have a commitment to excellence in clinical service, be forward-thinking and demonstrate problem-solving abilities necessary in this environment
  • Excellent communication (written and verbal), analytical, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to perform all technical skills in the critical care setting

Location & Lifestyle

Beyond the lights of the Strip and its world-class restaurants and entertainment, Las Vegas and the surrounding communities of Henderson and Summerlin are a different world. Beneath the veneer of a vacation destination are solid, family-oriented ethnically diverse communities with excellent schools, recreation, and resources for children, families, and retirees. The Las Vegas valley has great weather with 295 days of sunshine per year allowing year-round outdoor activities, including world-class golf and access to over 300 miles of dedicated biking and walking trails. Henderson city parks are ranked 19th in the United States by CNN and The Trust for Public Land. Mount Charleston at nearly 12,000 feet offers skiing and snowboarding less than an hour’s drive from downtown. Lake Mead, created by the Hoover Dam, offers year-round big lake boating. McCarren International Airport is the 10th busiest airport in the US!
