Like all departments within Community Health Partners the Pediatrics department is a physician focused group that provides all the resources and needs a physician may require to not only get their practice up and running but to continue to smoothly operate the patient flow, back office, and other elements necessary in creating an optimal clinic experience for patients and staff.
We currently have 2 locations serving the Pediatric patients in our area. In one office there are 3 physicians and in the other location there are 2 physicians and 1 APP. Both of our clinics offer in office circumcision. There are also RNs in each office available to assist with lactation consults. Based on the number of deliveries your morning schedule should include rounding, but typically our Pediatricians start their day rounding on newborns and then moving to clinic. Call responsibilities could function one of two ways based on how you prefer to manage your patients after hours; The first option is to handle all of your own patients call needs, after they have been triaged by a nursing line or the second option is to join 3 physicians in a call group that would consist of all 4 physicians patients and be 1:4 with call also triaged by a nursing line first. Currently, our 2 most fully ramped up physicians are seeing, by choice, 30 patients per day while our other physicians are seeing 18+ patients per day. Community Health Partners works with their physicians to ensure they are comfortable with the processes and needs of the physician while increasing their patient load.
