Job description

We are an established medical practice serving Indianapolis and the surrounding area performing evaluations on patients with swallowing disorders. Presently we are in need of additional physicians to join our group. Both full-time and part-time positions are available. All physicians with various experiences are encouraged to apply. During training, the physician will be compensated.

The practice is part of a network which has sister practices in New England and Texas. Professional Imaging started in Houston in March of 2005, and has expanded to the entire eastern of Texas. The monthly census is approximately 2300 patients with a staff of 70 which includes physicians, speech language pathologists and support staff.

Briefly, benefits and annual income for working 4 to 5 days a week will be approximately $160,000 to $225,000 or more depending on volume. Health insurance, a 401k retirement plan, and educational stipend are available. There is no weekend call or night call and malpractice insurance is paid for by the practice as well as the tail coverage. In over 400,000 evaluations in a 19-year period we have not had one malpractice inquiry or action.

Midwest Dysphagia Consultants mission is to provide professional dysphagia consultations including modified barium swallows for patients who have swallowing difficulties. The consultations are delivered utilizing a mobile unit pictured on our website.

Various facilities, private offices, and homebound patients have physicians and speech language pathologists who request swallowing studies from a mobile office such as ours. These requests are routed through our office staff and scheduled 95% of the time within 24 to 72 hours of receiving the request. If possible, they are scheduled the same day depending on daily volume and location. Our goal is to have our staff home between 4:00 and 5:00 PM every day.

Sincerely,

Nat Baumer, MD
