Job Highlights
Multiple communities within this tribal health system in SW Alaska need ongoing coverage in their local clinics. Great pay plus extra for taking first or second call
Create your own schedule and offer any start date and book as far out as you'd like! The client would appreciate having providers who would like to rotate. Make $900 per day for every day you're in a village PLUS $250 per call shift for first or second call. Rotating schedules can be 3-4 weeks, just offer what works for you.
The client is looking to achieve continuity of care in multiple villages. Start any time even if your availability isn't immediate. Travel to and from home is paid at the daily rate, flights, housing, malpractice insurance are all covered.
Some villages are solo sites, some have health aides or other APP's who help with scheduled patients and share call. Providers must have emergency medicine experience; OB and peds experience are preferred but not required.
The first rotation will include orientation at the main clinic. No call duties are required during orientation. Orientation will continue with a short rotation for on-the-job training at one of the sub regional clinics (SRC) which are located in the larger villages. All future rotations will be in one of the SRC's. The intent is to have providers return to the same SRC each rotation, but providers can move if you wish to do so.
Dates: Start upon completion of credentialing with ANTHC.
