Description/Other Details:

• This position involves inpatient rounding across two connected facilities located on the same campus. The role is supported by APPs, with the hospitalist team admitting the majority of patients while the Heart Failure service functions primarily as a consult service.
  
• There is 24/7 in-house hospitalist and critical care coverage, along with strong subspecialty support. The facility manages ventricular assist devices (VADs) but does not perform transplant procedures.
  
• The ideal candidate will have availability for a minimum of two weeks per month. The opportunity is also open to providers interested in a locum-to-permanent transition.
