77 consultantsA provider is exiting in January, necessitating full-time coverage beginning in February for a duration of at least three months, with the potential to extend to five or six months.
**Schedule:** Coverage options are either Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday from 7 AM to 3 PM. The remaining weekdays will require 24-hour call coverage.
Weekend call is available for those interested, typically compensated at the 24-hour call rate. The facility operates two operating rooms, one of which is shared with OB services, managing approximately 1-2 deliveries daily.
**Weekend call dynamics:** The standard on-call rotation includes either Friday/Saturday/Sunday or Saturday/Sunday. Expect one or two procedural cases over the weekend, along with various epidurals and occasional ICU line placements. It’s essential to remain locally available during call hours for timely response.
**Case Mix:** The surgical caseload comprises Bread & Butter procedures, gastrointestinal cases, straightforward orthopedic surgeries, general surgery, and obstetrics—excluding cardiac surgeries. Pediatric cases involve primarily healthy patients or simple procedures.
**CRNA Supervision:** There are no Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists on-site, thus no supervisory roles exist.
**Call Patterns:** The majority of callbacks are related to epidurals and C-sections.
