If you are board certified physician, residency trained in Emergency Medicine, or a 2011 graduating Emergency Medicine resident, this great opportunity provides a marvelous practice environment along with a top tier income package.  Join an established group with strong stability in one of their finest sites along the southeast Georgia coast.  This facility is an award winning hospital with all the bells and whistles, and a superb level two trauma center seeing a census of 50,000 annually.  The physical plant is spacious and state of the art with in-department radiology
including a 16-slice CAT Scan, bedside ultrasound and a dedicated nursing
staff.  The physicians are a peer group, all residency trained and boarded in Emergency Medicine, with an average age range from mid 30s to mid 40s, all with young families.  They are looking to replace a physician who
recently passed away.

Due to a rise in census, the group is adding an additional shift to the schedule which will require the addition of two new physicians.  Physicians work 10 hour
shifts and average 36 clinical hours a week with outstanding coverage.  There will be 50 hours of physician coverage daily as well as 36 hours of mid-level provider coverage.  Mid-levels cover the dedicated Fast Track and also work with the physicians in the main ED.  The patient mix is standard community hospital range with an acuity level of around 13%.  Mid-levels see about 45% of ED patients.  There are two academic affiliations with medical students rotating through the ED.  A full hospitalist program is in place with no admit orders being written by ED physicians.
They also enjoy a full electronic medical records system.  Back-up is outstanding with timely response in all major specialties including Pediatrics, Surgery, Ortho and
Cardiology.  Complex Neuro cases, PICU and NICU are transferred to Shands in Jacksonville  or up to Savannah.  Administrative support of the ED is excellent
with the VP of Clinical affairs actually an ex-ED nurse who is a strong
champion of the department.

As an employee of this group, an incoming physician will receive a guaranteed salary of $120 per hour, but actually be paid on a fee-for-service basis averaging in the $140 to $160 per hour range.  A physician interested in working exclusive night shifts will earn an additional $20 per hour.  The group also provides a strong benefit
package including health care for physician and family, long term disability,
$10K for CME and full malpractice and tail coverage.  In addition, the group provides a fully funded $52,000 annual contribution to a self-directed 401K account for each physician, bringing this package to at least $313K based on 1,726 hours a year, or $345K for a dedicated night shift  physician based on the same number of clinical hours.  Physicians are welcome to work extra shifts if desired.

Location, location, location sells this position more than any other factor.  If you are a dedicated beach comber, live in a nearby beach community and enjoy a short commute to work.  Cost of living and real estate in the area have taken a nose dive so this is the perfect time to score a great beach-front home and take advantage of the
outstanding schools, a wonderful work environment, job security and a terrific
lifestyle.
