*Anything they don’t do, they send out to Loma Linda Medical Center.
Call is one week every 6 weeks, Monday-Monday (8am-8am). They share hospital call with 2 other independent ENT’s.
Eisenhower provides a stipend of $3,150/week of call. Call is pretty standard call, no Trauma. Dr. VanderWerf says only gets a couple calls the entire week and VERY rare that you ever have to go in. He recalled he had to go in maybe once every 3 rotations/weeks of call.
The Hospitalists with Eisenhower are very proficient and are covering admitted patients. Dr. Walz, shared with me, “they are only calling you if it’s necessary, so call is pretty minimal, and we have a good relationship with them so it works really well.”
Desert ENT also rotates practice call 1:4, which is also minimal. Phone call only.
