INTEGRIS Health is recruiting a full-time, hospital-employed Gastroenterology Hospitalist for its Southwest Campus in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This is a newly created position, established as INTEGRIS transitions inpatient GI coverage from an outside private group to a directly employed physician model. The opening represents a ground-floor opportunity to shape an inpatient GI program within one of the region's largest and most established health systems.
This is a pure inpatient role. There are no clinic responsibilities, no outpatient panel, and no administrative obligations. The physician's focus is entirely on inpatient GI care.
| Detail | Description |
|---|---|
| Setting | Hospital-employed, inpatient only |
| Campus | INTEGRIS Health Southwest Campus |
| Schedule Model | 7 days on / 7 days off |
| On-Site Hours | 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM during on-week |
| Overnight Coverage | Phone and consult availability during on-week; 13 documented physical call-ins in the prior year |
| Outpatient Duties | None |
| APP Support | None currently; under consideration as volume grows |
| Position Type | New position |
The schedule follows a true 7-on/7-off model. During the on-week, the physician is on-site from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM and remains available overnight by phone for consult discussions and nursing questions. Physical returns to the hospital are rare. In the most recent full year, the physician was called back in person 13 times between 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM, averaging approximately once per month.
Block time for procedures is structured and predictable:
INTEGRIS Health previously contracted inpatient GI coverage to Digestive Disease Specialists (DDSI), a private group. That relationship ended, and INTEGRIS is now building its own employed GI hospitalist team. The Southwest Campus is the first site in this expansion. The GI Section Chief, based at the Edmond campus, provides leadership and oversight for the growing program.
The physician will work within a physician-led culture at a non-profit health system. The inpatient team includes hospitalists who manage general medical admissions, 24/7 in-house intensivists, and a strong surgical support structure. During the on-week, the GI hospitalist is the sole GI provider on campus, supported by a close-knit team across nursing, anesthesia, and hospital medicine.
