I’m getting the needed dates. We have 1/1 covered. I don’t know if the next one is MLK Day, Good Friday/Easter weekend or Memorial Day weekend, but one of those would be next.

It’s 7a-7a, a 24 hour shift. We have 6 general surgeons who will be covering their own patients, so this would only be for unassigned / ED patients.

Surgery only, no endoscopy.

May need to consult on inpatients. Fully hospitalist and ICU attending coverage, so they would only be consultants.

We have general surgery PAs who are in house the majority of the time.

LOCAL CANDIDATES WOULD BE IDEAL
