You step into a practice designed for physicians who want meaningful work without the grind seen in larger systems. Cody Regional Health gives you a clear schedule, a stable anesthesia service line, and a leadership team that listens. You work in a mountain community where the OR runs at a sustainable pace, the culture values teamwork, and physicians come here specifically to escape corporate medicine. The model is straightforward, the expectations are transparent, and the team wants a colleague who appreciates balance.
The hospital operates as an independent critical access facility that serves a broad catchment area across northwest Wyoming. The anesthesia team is rebuilding, with one new physician joining in March and another senior physician retiring. You help complete a three-physician structure that supports surgical services, obstetrics, the emergency department, and procedural areas. Your presence directly stabilizes access to anesthesia for a region that otherwise relies on Billings, Montana, for referral care.
You practice in a physician-led model where you work fourteen days on and fourteen days off. During those on-site weeks, you cover a mix of anesthesia care and call responsibilities that become more balanced once the three-physician team is fully staffed. The OR volume is manageable, and call has lightened significantly as CRNAs now handle all epidural coverage. You walk into a schedule where colleagues prioritize equity, and no one receives preferential assignments.
You join a service line that values fairness, clarity, and lifestyle. The schedule gives you time to enjoy your life in the mountains, and the professional environment removes the pressure often felt in higher-volume regions.
