To prospective teammates,

I’m the medical director for Shenandoah Memorial Hospital, located in beautiful Woodstock, Virginia. I have proudly been a part of Sound Physicians for five years. We are looking for a full-time Nocturnist physician to join our team. I want to share more about our group, specifically about our people, practice, and purpose, as you consider your next steps:

People
  • We are a collegial team of four physicians, with the support of a clinical performance nurse. Our practice consists of one-day and one-night physician focusing on quality patient-centered care.
  • Our group consists of providers who have been practicing with us for over ten years and others who look forward to celebrating their second year with us.
  • In this hospital and community, you have a close-knit group of people who genuinely love working together. With this underserved community, you can make a real difference in improving health care and the systems for patient care.
  • Our hospital partners have a fantastic level of collaboration that encourages you to participate substantially in committees. It is an environment of inclusion to help make decisions for the well-being of patients and is part of hospital policy.
  • We proudly sponsor H1B visa candidates, and Sound has excellent in-house visa specialists and our licensing and credentialing experts. All required filing fees for the visa are paid, and services are covered by Sound.
Practice
  • We welcome the challenge of complex cases, working in a critical access hospital with a united group of providers. There is an open four-bed critical care step-down unit. Procedures are not required but can be performed. Working closely with our system and consultants, we regularly enjoy the challenge of complex cases.
  • We convene monthly for team meetings where we have close ties and communication with hospital administration.
  • With a preference for family and outdoor time, a flexible schedule allows us to cover for each other when needed.
  • Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life, and AD&D insurance, long- and short-term disability, 401k with match, paid medical malpractice and tail coverage, and annual CME allowance.
Purpose
  • We put patients first. Always.
  • Growth and development are key features of Sound’s practices, where teammates can expand their careers here locally and within the broader medical group.
  • We’re a community-minded team and encourage our team members who want to contribute in and out of the hospital to help make our local community thrive.

Woodstock, Virginia, is a great place to live due to its charming small-town atmosphere, picturesque scenery in the Shenandoah Valley, and strong sense of community. There are ample opportunities for outdoor fun—kayaking in the local rivers and lakes or hiking in the gorgeous Shenandoah National Park. Within 1 hour, there is skiing, snowboarding, and tubing at Massanutten Resort. We are also a reasonable drive to Northern Virginia and Washington, DC.
