Other Details: The facility which is stroke-certified is looking for a provider to cover on-site clinical hours and beeper call if needed. The facility is seeking at least three full-time GI physicians to provide 24-hour coverage, with onsite shifts Monday Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and call coverage from 5 PM to 8 AM on weekdays, as well as weekend call from Friday at 5 PM to Monday at 8 AM. Physicians are not required to remain onsite during call unless their physical presence is needed for cases such as emergent endoscopic procedures, gastrointestinal bleeding, bowel obstructions or perforations, ED consultations for GI emergencies (e.g., pancreatitis, liver failure), or post-operative complications.
