We are looking for a BE/BC Palliative Care (or related) physician to join our collaborative team. St. Mary’s County is a very supportive and loyal community, and the Palliative Care Medical Director needs to be willing to become a part of the community and live in the county (will describe the county later).
The provider needs to be industrious and able to navigate without full-time support. The team is not a big one, it will consist of you, a social worker, and a well-trained APP. We have a team-based approach, very strong leadership support, and a great system-wide approach with a large community of people to draw from. There will be academic and research opportunities as well.
Although some experience with Hospice would be a plus, there are no Hospice responsibilities. This is a robust practice with over 480 consults and 920 encounters.
We have an innovative call structure; it is a weekend remote call rotation and there is no evening call. The weekend call rotation requires only 10 4-hour shifts a year, Saturdays or Sundays, all remote from home. You can do more, and if you do you are compensated $500 per shift additionally.
We offer a lucrative formula-based compensation plan, an example of which is below and will be explained in detail at the appropriate time
