This is a GI Hospitalist/inpatient GI call coverage request. Coverage Need: 3

support (not IVCS). Average new inpatient consults per day: 3-6.

Strongly prefer candidates who perform ERCP!

Anesthesia availability: Anesthesia is readily available during the day shift. On weekends, usually two

anesthesia teams are available in the morning and add-on GI are in the queue with all other surgical addons. If a gastroenterologist requires IV conscious sedation for a procedure, that is available as well.

Physician is responsible for communicating biopsy results for all procedures to the patient directly - or

routed through the designated clinic MA. Must coordinate additional steps to include referrals, follow-ups and

additional imaging as may be necessary. EPIC training will be required.

We will schedule the selected GI locums to the weeks of their choosing each month. Again, our overall need

is for three weeks of 24-hour coverage per month. But we can adjust to 12-hour shifts as might be preferred

by the selected locum(s) several days each week. NOTE: Please include 8 gratis hours in the 24-hour shift rate.
