Augusta, Maine: We seek a skilled inpatient physician to practice as a NOCTURNIST. Become part of a team of 30 specialists providing care in Maine’s newest hospital – a state-of-the-art 190-bed regional medical center in the state capital city, just 50 minutes from Portland. Physicians trained in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine are both encouraged to apply to this Equal Opportunity Employer.

Hospitalists here provide comprehensive inpatient care, managing common and complex illnesses and injuries of adolescents, adults and seniors. They also provide emergency department consults. You will participate in admissions and discharges including ensuring appropriate medications, future diagnostic studies and follow up instructions to family members, primary care providers and others.

Communication is key here, so attending rounds and sharing daily updates with the care team are essential – as is communicating health status and treatment plans to patient, family and hospital staff. You will be responsible for documenting completely for patient care and billing purposes. This medical center is home to an unopposed Family Medicine Residency Program (affiliated with Dartmouth) and hosts rotating medical students. With learners frequently assigned to the care team, teaching will be part of your routine.

Flexible scheduling is available. We are looking for someone who is interested in logging 10 to 14 12-hour night shifts/month. Join a friendly group of Hospitalists who support each other as they seek a terrific work/life balance.

You will be employed by the hospital and earn a competitive salary based on experience along with benefits that include relocation assistance, a generous amount of earned time off, insurance (liability, medical, dental, life, and disability), paid leave plus a budget for your CME, a choice of pension plans with employer matching, and more. Generous, multiyear medical education loan repayment is also available.
