Texas – Major University Town

to $400K+

This is a great opportunity for an ambitious young grad or experienced residency-trained emergency physician seeking a “better ED” practice model with fantastic income in a wonderful college-town atmosphere.  This community hospital sees 25K volume annually and carries a level 4 trauma level designation.   The ED is a full EMS base command for both ground and air transport.  Physicians work on

8-hour shifts assisted by scribes (one-on-one) and a full complement of strong PAs who work both in the main ED as well as the Fast Track.  The patient mix is varied and interesting with about 30% Peds, a lot of university traffic and 8-10% trauma.  ED physicians work a flexible schedule of at least 128 hours per month and more if desired, with the average working 4 shifts a week.  The medical staff and hospital administration provide full support to the ED group.  The physical plant is excellent with 16 treatment bays, full trauma suites, a separate Pediatric ED and a terrific team of nurses.  Physicians are all board certified/eligible in emergency medicine and income is totally RVU -based, with the average physician making $200 an hour.  Additional bonuses based on citizenship, patient satisfaction and documentation completion add about $10K quarterly, for a cash income close to $400K for physicians putting in about 144 hours per month.  The group employs the physicians as Independent Contractors, providing full malpractice and tail coverage as well as cafeteria medical benefits and accounting services/advisors for creating the most advantageous tax status for each physician.  This is a quintessential college town with a major university in place located about 90 minutes from Houston.  The variety of lifestyle choices is vast from rural ranching to urban chic.

A sign-on bonus negotiable, but a relocation bonus is guaranteed.
