Physician Inpatient- Hospice

VITAS Healthcare

Job Title

Physician

Job Description

WHO WE ARE

We are VITAS Healthcare, the nation's leading end-of-life care provider since 1978.

Our hospice organization kickstarts careers in caring, promotes from within, and provides a nationally recognized best-in-class employee experience. Supported by industry-leading experts and an expanding network of programs in 15+ states, VITAS empowers team members to grow toward their goals while transforming patients' lives.

Our priority is to care: For our patients, for each other, and for the future.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

As a home care hospice physician, you will use your compassion, communication skills and deep expertise to build meaningful relationships with patients and families, providing the highest-quality care at the most challenging point in life. You will see the person behind each prognosis and create care plans centered around the patient's wishes, needs, and beliefs, often working in concert with the patient's primary care physician.

With your strong sense of commitment, you will advocate for your patients, discussing goals for their care while addressing their hopes and fears. You bring a passion for hospice, seeking teachable moments everywhere, and educate patients, caregivers, and the communities you serve on the benefits of compassionate, dignified end-of-life care.

WHERE YOU'LL WORK

You will spend most of your time caring for hospice patients who have been admitted to an inpatient unit (IPU) in a hospital, nursing facility, or hospice house. Each IPU provides round-the-clock care to patients whose symptoms cannot be managed effectively in a home setting.

Once a week, you'll attend a formal meeting to discuss cases with members of your interdisciplinary team, including social workers, chaplains, and nurses. All of these roles collaborate to provide holistic support for the patients and families we serve.

WHAT'S EXPECTED FROM YOU

VITAS physicians must be licensed to practice medicine or osteopathy in the state in which their program operates, and inpatient physicians must be members in good standing at the hospital or hospitals in which they provide care.

In addition to being board-certified or board-eligible in hospice and palliative medicine, internal medicine, family practice, or a related specialty, you should be familiar with the principles of hospice and registered with the DEA.

You'll also have the traits that make the VITAS Difference: Commitment, Compassion, and a Can-do Attitude.

You will keep patient welfare at the center of everything you do, giving your best each day in service of our core commitment: Extending comfort and dignity to all people at the end of their life's journey.
