Role and Facility Information
You will cover the clinic working 9-5pm, seeing 2 patients an hour, with an hour for lunch. It is a very relaxed clinic 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. There will be another physician working who will cover the clinic and ED and will be available to answer questions. This is a very high paid week due to the additional stipend and MOCAP payments and the ED is very low flow (2-10patients/day) and low acuity.
