The Opportunity
A hospitalist APP line at a 139-bed Prime Healthcare hospital in Michigan's Blue Water Area, with five to six admissions a shift and a choice of pattern: 7a 3p rounding and admissions, or a 3p 11p swing focused on admitting and cross-coverage. About 15 days a month. The ICU is open with 24/7 tele-intensivist support, and you work as part of the hospitalist physician team rather than parallel to it.
What You'll Own
- Five to six admissions a shift a workload you can do properly.
- A choice of shift pattern: day rounding and admissions, or an afternoon swing.
- Integration with the hospitalist physician team, not an isolated APP service.
- An open ICU with 24/7 tele-intensivist coverage behind the sickest patients.
Must-Haves
- NP or PA
- Michigan license, or eligibility in process
- Inpatient experience preferred
Nice to Have
- Prior hospitalist or admissions experience
- Comfort with cross-coverage
- Epic familiarity
What Working Here Is Actually Like
- $120,000 salary, or $65 per hour whichever structure suits you.
- 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.
- Malpractice and tail both covered. Tail is the one people forget to ask about until they leave.
- Epic.
- About 15 days a month, with a shift pattern you help choose.
- Physician-owned and physician-managed since 2012. When you escalate a problem, it reaches a physician who still works clinical shifts.
- Not a locums agency. An ongoing program position with a named, stable team.
- Waterfront living on Lake Huron, low cost of living, Metro Detroit an easy drive.
Straight Talk
The 3p 11p swing is mostly admitting and cross-coverage, which is a different job from rounding more decisions on patients you're meeting for the first time, less continuity. Pick the pattern that matches how you actually like to work, and tell us which when you apply.
