Due to the growing need in the community, Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare System is looking additional Pulmonary/Critical Care physician to join Dr. Ernesto Mejia. This practice pulls from 13 counties and can easily support 3 or more busy PUD/CC’s. This is a general PUD/CC opportunity but if you have an interest focusing on Pulmonology or incorporate Sleep medicine, we can certainly accommodate that. Morristown will be going with an intensivist model in the future. Dr. Mejia will even proctor you. The incoming physician will be as busy as they want to be. Dr. Mejia currently has a current wait time of 3 months. If you want a busy PUD/CC practice, this is it.
Dr. Mejia is a work horse, but they are not expecting the incoming PUD/CC to mirror his schedule. Currently, he’ll see patients in the clinic, does procedures, rounds in the hospital/CCU, takes call, and teaches medical students. He’s a huge outdoorsman and loves the area. He’s looking to slow down eventually and will even refer patients your way. He’s independent and is not employed by Morristown-Hamblen directly (by choice) but he is your colleague. Dr. Mejia is emotionally invested in seeing you succeed. He will do whatever he can to help. He’s also hilarious!!! It’s a very collegial atmosphere with no tension. It sounds like a fun place to work.
There are a lot of younger nurses, but the seasoned nurses are very skilled and have a great relationship with the patients. Morristown encourages physicians to share the areas that nurses can use additional training and experience to help them be better prepared. Many of the physicians enjoy participating in helping with this additional education which has created a great flow and structure amongst all providers.
