Hospitalist | Day Shift | APP Support | Waterfront Michigan | Port Huron, MI | Hiring Now

Job Description

The Opportunity

\n

A day hospitalist line at a 139-bed Prime Healthcare hospital in Michigan's Blue Water Area, working with APP support and an open ICU running around four patients with 24/7 tele-intensivist coverage behind it. Call is 1-in-3 and built into the salary rather than bolted on. Port Huron itself is waterfront — boating, beaches, and a cost of living that makes a hospitalist salary go considerably further than it does downstate.

\n

What You'll Own

\n

\n
• A day census shared with APP support rather than carried alone.
\n
• An open ICU of roughly four patients , with 24/7 tele-intensivist coverage for the decisions you want a second opinion on.
\n
• 1-in-3 call , included in the salary rather than an unpriced add-on.
\n
• A day-shift line — this is not a nocturnist role.
\n

What Working Here Is Actually Like

\n

\n
• $260,000 salary with a $30,000 bonus .
\n
• Full W-2 benefits. Medical, dental and vision from the first of the month after hire; employer-paid life at 1x salary up to $300,000; employer-paid long-term disability at 60% of salary; 401(k). The benefit plan year runs 1 October to 30 September.
\n
• Malpractice and tail both covered. Tail is the one people forget to ask about until they leave.
\n
• Epic.
\n
• 24/7 tele-intensivist support on a small open ICU.
\n
• Physician-owned and physician-managed since 2012. When you escalate a problem, it reaches a physician who still works clinical shifts.
\n
• Not a locums agency. An ongoing program position with a named, stable team.
\n
• Waterfront living on Lake Huron and the St. Clair River , with Metro Detroit an easy drive.
\n
• Licensure is faster than you expect if you're coming from out of state. Michigan participates in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, so if you already hold a qualifying license elsewhere, adding this one typically runs one to three weeks rather than months.

Straight Talk

\n

Call is 1-in-3 and it is inside the salary — that's a real obligation, and worth weighing against a base that looks straightforward. An open ICU also means you co-manage critically ill patients rather than handing them off, with tele-intensivist support rather than someone at the bedside.
