Hospice/Palliative Care Locum Opportunity in Oregon

JOB DETAILS: 

We are looking for one full time provider preferably able to come onsite to do a mix of onsite and telehealth work. It is not preferred but we will look at telehealth only candidates as well. Please note that candidates should have some willingness to work onsite as this may become a requirement at some point later in January. 

Provider will work Monday-Friday (8am-5pm and can take a lunch when able to during that time). 

They will take call 4-6 nights a month, plus approximately 1 weekend a month, sometimes with NP overlap and sometimes not. Physician weeknight calls are variable - sometimes may have 0 admits and 1-2 symptom calls, sometime 4-5 admits come after 5pm and multiple calls on complex patients during the night for crisis visits or GIP admits. 

Weekends can be busy, if there are a large number of admissions and if we have a high number of complicated patients. If NP is also on for their weekend, they do cover symptoms and most of the nights, and physician just doing the admissions.
