Clinical Component

Clinically, this position is Monday through Friday 9:00 am – 5:00 pm. This is a 100% Palliative Medicine position, where you’d be the Medical Director/Leader of the Department. This would be a consultative service initially, not an entire unit, but you would have additional nursing staff. Dr. Williamson, their CMO, will collaborate with you on the vision and what is needed to make this service line successful.

Day to Day

Monday through Friday 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
This is a consultative service – no stat consults and you would not be the admitting physician.
A mix of inpatient and outpatient consults
• Clinic time, rounding follow ups, ambulatory consults
This would be a mult-disciplinary approach – patients coming from Oncology, COPD, and Cardiology.
They have a great Pain Management Service in place.
• When needed, they have relationships with Hospice Facilities in the area.
Call: Phone call only to consult. You would not be the 1st call. The first call would go to the admitting physician such as, Oncology, Primary Care, Cardiology, etc. so it will be minimal.

EMR: Epic

**Please note, you won’t see any sections for Palliative Care on Eisenhower’s website since they are reviving and starting the new service line. However, they have a whole marketing team behind the efforts of marketing the new Palliative Care Director and services.

The Cancer Center is also a huge catalyst in this need, “we need this service for our patients”, so the referral patterns are already in place.
