Sound Physicians
Hospitalist Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant - Vancouver, WA
Sound Physicians, Vancouver, Washington, United States, 98660
To prospective teammates,
As the medical director for Sound's hospital medicine program at PeaceHealth Southwest, located in historic Vancouver, Washington, I have been a member of the team for three years. I'm thrilled to share our exceptional hospitalist practice with experienced hospitalist advanced practice providers (APPs) seeking a career change. Allow me to provide some insight into our remarkable people, practice, and purpose, as you consider your next steps:
People
* Our team is a closely knit, established group of 25 physicians and 9 advanced practice providers (APPs), with the support of two associate medical directors, two clinical performance nurses, and a program manager.* We believe in diversity and inclusion. We have clinicians from different backgrounds and with a wide range of interests.* Our team is actively engaged in the medical staff community, encouraging participation in various hospital committees.* We foster meaningful patient care discussions while also valuing each other on a personal level. Our team extends beyond work, such as watching Sunday football in the office.* We hang out outside work and enjoy dinners, axe throwing, bowling, and trivia night. We are eagerly looking forward to attending a Blazers NBA game and a hiking trip in the future.* We are seeking experienced NPs or PAs to join our team.
Practice
* Our hospital has a closed ICU during the day with 24/7 intensivist support, and we don't require procedures or codes.* Our APPs have considerable autonomy with the right amount of support from our physicians - they carry their own patient load and assist with our observation unit.* We hold semi-monthly team meetings to ensure alignment and collaboration across the practice and a midweek morning meeting for brief updates and celebrations.* Most of us like to spend time with our families or outdoors, so a standard seven on/off schedule is available. Other flexible schedule options may also be available. We support one another by covering shifts when needed.* Compensation is competitive, with a base salary range of $150k - $160k, depending on experience.* Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life, and AD&D insurance, long- and short-term disability, 401k with match, paid medical malpractice and tail coverage, and annual CME allowance.
Purpose
* Patients are always our top priority.* Growth and development are key features of Sound's practices, where teammates can expand their careers here locally and within the broader medical group.* We're a community-minded team and encourage contributions within and outside the hospital to make our local community thrive. We have partnered with a Free Clinic where some of our colleagues have volunteered their time to assist the less fortunate.
If you're considering a move to Vancouver, Washington, you'll be able to enjoy its picturesque natural surroundings, including the Columbia River and nearby forests. Additionally, the city's proximity to Portland, Oregon, provides access to a vibrant cultural scene.
To learn more about this exciting opportunity, please contact my recruiting partner, Melinda Tucker, who will put you in touch with me.
