Norman Regional's Cutting-Edge Clinics: Elevating Healthcare Services for Providers and Patients

Norman Regional is a premier health system located in Norman Oklahoma that recently built a new state of the art 290 bed Level III Hospital. With the recent surge in population in the area and the new hospital, Norman Regional is experiencing an increased need for healthcare services. With that in mind, they’ve had an increased need for interventional cardiology. Please consider the following:

Practice details: 

  • Schedule – Flexible schedule with a 4.5-day workweek (36 patient facing hours per week) and half day (4 hours) of admin.
  • Primarily located at the heart plaza next to the hospital..   
  • This position will require taking call of 1:9 for weekend coverage: 7am Friday to 7am Monday to include making rounds on all inpatients on Saturday and Sunday. Typical average of 30 patients with support by your APP for weekend rounding. Hospital is fully staffed with weekend inpatient coverage. Weekday STEMI call varies with 5 days per month average coverage. 
  • Enjoy working for a system that takes a patient first approach and cares deeply for the providers work/life balance. Here are a few comments made by current physicians that I spoke with during my visit to Norman.
    “I love the flexibility of leadership and their willingness to listen to my concerns and ideas.”

    “After joining Norman Regional, I expected leadership to fade into the background like my previous employer, never to be heard from. However, that wasn’t the case here. My primary care director visits me at least once every couple of weeks just to make sure I have everything I need. And if I do have needs, he’s quick to act and make my work experience the best it can be.”

    “As a provider, I value quality patient care and making sure the patient feels they are being heard. I voice this regularly and the leadership team listens and delivers tools that help me to provide that quality care and provide my patients with the best possible experience during their visit.”

    Norman Regional is a firm believer in continuous improvement, always looking for ways to improve quality care and to do it in the most efficient way possible.
