Hospitalist Job Opportunity of a Lifetime. Come Work With Happy. We're Hiring!

If you are a hospitalist looking for a job, stop looking. Happy and company have the hospitalist job opportunity of a lifetime. This isn't your ordinary run of the mill hospitalist job opportunity. We are a well run, well organized hospitalist program with a fantastic administration that understands the value of a top notch hospitalist program.  Since many of you residents are now in the job hunting phase of your last year of internal medicine training, consider coming to work with Happy as a blessing from above.

Here are some pertinent specifics of Happy's hospitalist group.

•  We are currently looking for two full time equivalent hospitalist positions starting August (or so) of 2011.
• We are looking for internal medicine boarded or  eligible physicians.  Most of Happy's partners started right out of residency.  We are a mature program that started in 2002.
• We are a private practice hospitalist practice.  There are twenty board certified hospitalists in our group.  We have a contract with our hospital system to be the  provider of hospitalist care across a two hospital campus setting which is the largest regional referring center in our state. Our hospital offers coverage for everything, except dental abscesses (fricken a).
• We have three nursing coordinators who are invaluable to our group.  They keep everything running smoothly.  And they do a fantastic job taking care of everything that drives doctors crazy.  They help with all the annoying insurance requests, paper work, discharge medications and communication between nurses and the rest of us hospitalists.  I don't know what I would do without them.
• Between both hospitals, we have  seven daily rounders  plus a swing shift that helps with admissions and consults.  I have kept track for several years now as to what our normal daily census is per day doc and night doc.  While the time of year makes it variable, on average, the day shift does not average over 15  encounters (that includes new admissions, consults and follow ups) per day and the night shift averages under seven new encounters per night.  This coverage keeps us highly efficient and helps with dramatic reductions in length of stay, when compared against our colleagues.
• We will consider nocturnist positions if you are interested. PLEASE BE INTERESTED!
• We will consider part time options as well, if you are interested.
• We work a combination of 8, 10, or 12 hour rotating days and nights (7am-3pm, 7am-5pm, 7am-7pm, 7pm-7am).   We make our own schedule.
• We have a fantastic administration who understands how much value we provide.  I couldn't ask for a better one that understands the value of hospitalist medicine to hospital economics.
• Starting in August 2011, we have changed our schedule so we will have no more than five day shifts in a row ( with no more than two of those five day shifts at 12 hours)  and no more than 2 night shifts (7pm-7am) in a row and no more than one weekend in a row.  It is a very family friendly schedule.  In a 15 week block, we have a least three periods of eight days or more off, which makes for nice travel plans.   The average over a year is a 40 hour work week.
• We are stationed in a mid size (300,000 or so population) major University community with great schools, low cost of living, low unemployment and a very stable housing market. It is a fantastic place to raise a family.
• The restaurants and shopping are decent and tolerable, but less than an hour drive from excellent opportunities to waste your money.  We have all the big box stores, in duplicate.
•  We are about a 2 1/2 hour all interstate drive to an international airport.
• We offer 100% paid health insurance premiums,  competitive retirement contributions and a  CME/work expense fund.
• We offer a very competitive compensation package mixed with salary, productivity and partnership opportunities.
