Caribou, Maine: We invite TWO talented Internal Medicine Physicians to be HOSPITALISTS on the medical staff of an award-winning community-owned 65-bed medical center where 500+ employees serve 35,000 residents of northeastern Maine.

Qualified Internists, MD or DO, are encouraged to apply. Physicians needing J1 or H1b visa sponsorship are welcomed by this Equal Opportunity Employer. Expert legal counsel will manage the immigration process, with all costs covered.

You will be impressed by this “Top Rural Hospital” – a multiple Blue-Ribbon and Women’s Choice Award winner. Leapfrog gives this hospital an “A” Safety Score every year. They are in the top 2% of all US hospitals for health information and patient safety technology, listed as “a Best Place to Work in Maine,” and as the “Employer and Provider of Choice” for healthcare in the area.

CHOICE OF SCHEDULE:

You can work the DAY SHIFT, Mon-Fri, 6am-6pm, with no weekends.

Or you can work NIGHTS, 6pm-6am, 2 on/2 off, with no weekends.

Night shifts are handled solo, with backup from an Emergency Department physician. Hospitalists here average 15 12-hour shifts every four weeks. This includes one half-day/week for administrative or non-patient care duties. Weekends are covered by a full-time Hospitalist who works from 6am Saturday through 6am Monday.

You will be expected to provide high quality, efficient inpatient consultations and acute care in a 6-bed combined Med/Surg/ICU and a 25-bed Med/Surg unit. You have the option of doing procedures if desired (not required). You will manage admissions coming from the Emergency Department. Hospitalists are responsible for post-surgical patients who are on a ventilator, and frequently perform pre-op assessments for the surgeons. You will interact with hospital social workers and discharge planners, office-based primary care physicians, and various medical specialists to coordinate patient care and transfers as appropriate.

Inpatient care is supported by excellent, specially trained nursing staff and a superb administrative team. You will have access to the latest diagnostic testing tools. In this community you will help care for a large cohort of elderly patients with comorbidities. Serious trauma, cardiac, neurosurgery, psychiatric and other critical cases are transported to the large tertiary medical center in Bangor, via air ambulance as appropriate.

You will be employed by the hospital, and you will earn a highly competitive salary plus excellent benefits including paid relocation to beautiful Maine, paid liability insurance, health and dental insurance, life and disability insurance, paid leave with a budget for your CME, participation in retirement plans, and more. Ongoing assistance with student loans is also available.
