COMPANY PROFILE: 
This community-centric rural healthcare system has been serving the residents of Bacon County for more than 75 years.  They are proud to be a rare critical access hospital (CAH) with an obstetrics department that delivers approximately 180 babies per year, who are attended to by dedicated and compassionate staff in their Level I Well-Baby Nursery.  The system boasts a 25-bed general acute care hospital accredited by the Joint Commission, a community care center, a sleep center, a child development center, and an 88-bed long-term care facility.  They currently have a staff of 21 physicians and nurse practitioners across 12 specialities, and are hiring due to a combination of physician retirement and growth in their patient population.

POSITION DESCRIPTION: 
The new pediatrician will work in a rural healthcare setting, seeing patients in a critical access hospital (CAH), as well as its affiliated clinic located directly across the street.

The hospital has a Level I Well-Baby Nursery and sees approximately 180 births per year.  Complex cases are transferred to a Level III NICU in Savannah.

The pediatrician will see an average of 20 to 25 patients per day, with ample support from a dedicated team and administrative time built into the schedule.

The duties of the pediatrician role include, but are not limited to:

• newborn rounding
• well child exams
• school physicals
• sick visits
• evaluate, diagnose, and provide treatment
• refer patients to specialists as needed
• discuss procedures, test results, and treatments with patients and families
• recommend preventive health measures and habits
• prescribe medications and formulate ongoing treatment plans

The system uses the MEDITECH electronic health record.

The pediatrician’s call schedule is 1:3 with a required 30-minute callback timeframe.  The on-call duties are phone triage only, as overnight deliveries and inpatient complications are attended to by the on-site hospital staff.  On-call volume is very low.

This will be an autonomous role, with the pediatrician joining a 7-physician primary care practice (4 family medicine and 3 internal medicine providers) as the first pediatrician.  There is a strong built-in referral base through the obstetrics department and the pediatrician will have a full panel of patients.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Georgia medical license
• DEA
• Board Certified or Eligible, Pediatrics
