Anesthesiologist - RUHS

Job Description

Job Description

Our organization is seeking collaborative Anesthesiologists to become part of our team at Riverside University Health System-Medical Center (RUHS-MC), within the Division of Community Partnership - Anesthesiology.

Riverside University Health System-Medical Center is a 439-bed teaching hospital affiliated with a university, featuring over 60 primary and specialty care clinics located in Moreno Valley, Southern California. This prime location offers easy access to Los Angeles, Palm Springs, beaches, mountains, deserts, and six major airports. RUHS-MC is recognized as an ACS-accredited Level 1 Adult Trauma Center, a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures by The Joint Commission, a Primary Stroke Center, and a Center of Excellence for Research.

The practice primarily focuses on adult cases, encompassing orthopedics, general surgery, neurosurgery, ENT, OB/GYN, vascular, and thoracic procedures, along with trauma surgeries. While pediatric care is provided, the volume is manageable. RUHS serves as a Level 1 adult and Level II pediatric trauma center for Riverside County. Regular regional anesthesia procedures are conducted; however, expertise in these techniques is not mandatory for employment, although it is advantageous. The practice also includes a modern outpatient surgery center equipped with 8 operating rooms. It is important to note that cardiac surgery and transplantation procedures are not performed at RUHS-MC.

The selected candidate will be responsible for three 16-hour in-house overnight calls during weekdays and one 24-hour in-house shift on weekends or holidays each month (which can be divided into two 12-hour shifts with another staff member). There will always be two attending physicians available for overnight calls, and responsibilities are shared equally among faculty members.

The ideal candidate will be a team-oriented physician who values personal and professional development, is committed to resident education, and enjoys mentoring residents and medical students. Our practice prioritizes perioperative medicine as a fundamental aspect of anesthesiology; therefore, residents receive extensive training in this area, and several faculty members participate in national and state committees discussing future practice models. The ideal applicant will actively support these initiatives.

This role is associated with the Department of Anesthesiology at our organization, affiliated with Riverside University Health System.
