The Opportunity
Part-time and PRN emergency shifts at a 137-bed community hospital in suburban Kansas City. About 54 visits a day, two daytime APPs on with you, and a department with Primary Stroke and Certified Chest Pain Center accreditation behind it. Predictable enough to walk into cold, supported enough that a busy stretch doesn't become a crisis. Take the blocks that fit your life.
What You'll Own
- A department you can pick up cold steady volume, clear pathways, APPs already on.
- 12-hour shifts with two daytime APPs alongside you.
- Accredited stroke and chest pain pathways, so time-critical care is protocolised rather than improvised.
- On-campus surgical and orthopaedic backup.
Must-Haves
- MD or DO
- ABEM or AOBEM board certification
- Missouri license, or eligibility in process
Nice to Have
- Existing Missouri license faster to credentialing
- Availability for night or weekend blocks
- Epic familiarity
What Working Here Is Actually Like
- Per-shift compensation discussed directly. You'll get a real number on the first call.
- Malpractice and tail covered on part-time and PRN shifts too, not only on the full-time lines.
- Epic with Dragon. Charting closes out at the end of the shift, not at home at 11pm.
- Credentialing handled by a team that does this constantly.
- No minimum annual commitment.
- Physician-owned and physician-managed since 2012. When you escalate a problem, it reaches a physician who still works clinical shifts.
- Licensure is faster than you expect if you're coming from out of state. Missouri 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
Part-time here still means owning the department for your shift there is one physician on at a time. The APPs are genuine support, but the decisions are yours. That suits people with community ED experience and frustrates people looking for a gentle re-entry.
