This is an exceptional opportunity where you would join a Certified Physician Assistant and two Certified Nurse Practitioner, four invasive-interventionalists and three invasive, non-interventional cardiologists in a premier, active, growing practice that was established in 1976. There is no managed care. The practice has a state-of-the-art nuclear medicine system and echo/ultrasound system and is on an Electronic Health Record. The office is located only one block from the hospital. There are 9 outreach clinics serviced by the cardiologists reaching two-thirds of the State, since 1978. The primary hospital offers two state-of-the-art cath labs and an active open-heart surgery program with two board certified cardio-thoracic surgeons. A benefits plan is offered that includes health insurance for the employee, a retirement plan, and CME reimbursement.

The work rotation would consist of 5 mid-levels .

• One midlevel is scheduled to the hospital. This rotation is 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday – Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to noon Saturday and Sunday. There is discussion to give this rotation a day off either before or after the rotation
• The hospital rotation moves to the hospital discharge position, for continuity of care. This rotation updates the incoming hospital person about the patients. This rotation begins at 8:00 a.m. until noon, discharging the patients in the hospital, then comes to the office at 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. seeing patients.
• The discharge position the next week moves to the office, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Hospital Rotation: take phone calls for the cardiologists from the hospital nurses/hospitalists/other physicians, round patients, monitor stress tests (at the hospital), etc. There is no night call or weekend call, everything is during the day.

Office Rotation: Patients are scheduled 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 (subject to change), with an hour for lunch, with the day ending at 5:00 p.m. There are normally approximately 16 patients scheduled to the midlevels. Patients are annual visits, follow up, post hospital discharge, complex patients, implanted device interrogation and possible Telehealth. Office midlevels also handle remote implanted device follow-up (pacemakers, defibrillators, implanted loop recorders), The RNs of the practice are the liaison between the patients and the midlevels. The RNs forward labs, messages, reports, etc. that are outside of their scope of their license for the midlevels to manage and direct the nurse, the nurse then contacts the patient.

If interested, the physicians would appreciate their rotating to the one-day remote outreach clinics. There is an additional stipend for doing outreach. The specific locations would be Rawlins, Wheatland, Gillette, and Riverton. I think previously this was one or two days a month.
