Role and Facility Information
You will cover the ER from 8am - 8pm daily. This is a low flow, low acuity ER, typically sees 2-10 patients/day. Calls after 6pm are uncommon. ER closes at 8pm. On Mon-Fri you will also be booked to see 1 patient an hour in the clinic, since the ER is so low flow. This is a very high paid week of work, in a very relaxed clinic and hospital, in a beautiful and friendly community with very helpful and supportive staff. We keep excellent notes and our patients are well cared for since we have a full complement of 4 regular physicians.
