Job Quick Facts
* Specialty: Nephrology
* Location: Detroit, MI
* Practice Type: Inpatient/Outpatient
* Board Requirement: Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Nephrology
* License Requirement: MI
* Coverage Dates: 11/05/2018 - Ongoing (one week per month); Coverage need will be ongoing until permanent is hired.
* Reason for Need: Vacation - Long Term Permanent Search
* Coverage Type: Scheduled Clinical Hours + Call
* Average census has been 8 – 9 per clinic with 6 or 7 inpatients maxing out at the busiest/highest census of 11 or 12
* Call Type: Beeper
* Shift/Schedule: Clinic begins between 8:30 – 9:00 AM and runs until 1:30 – 2:00 PM, four days per week (Mon, Tues, Thu, Fri).
* Procedures: All procedures such as catheter placement and management of dialysis will be if needed by the transplant patient
* Staffing mix: MA's, pre-transplant coordinator, outreach coordinator, post-transplant coordinator, and social worker, APPs
* Other facts:
- There is currently one other transplant nephrologist in place and this coverage is to prevent her from having 24/7 responsibility
- Have transplant experience and be UNOS approved/compliant/credentialed
- There could be a possibility of involvement with residents/fellows. This is not a requirement and will be at the discretion of the department once a relationship with the covering locum's physician has been formed.
- Will see clinic patients (pre and post visits) as well as inpatient rounds on transplant patients
- The provider would cover inpatient call for transplant patients – call volume is light and all over the phone (almost never need to come in – all handled over the phone).
- Calls will come from the surgeon only and not from the ER. Locum will not be the admitting or discharging physician.
