Job description

Love the variety of inpatient GI and the freedom of a block schedule? This regional health system has separated inpatient & outpatient GI, so you can focus on hospital care while dedicated outpatient GIs handle the clinic. The demand is already here, and you'll help shape a growing GI hospitalist program from Day 1.

• 7 on/7 off block schedule - longer blocks (up to 14 on/14 off) also considered
• Practice within a regional health system anchored by a Level II Trauma Center - great acuity & case variety
• Dedicated GI Hospitalist APPs help start consults, round & handle follow-up
• Most overnight issues can wait until morning - calls are mostly by phone
• ERCP/EUS welcomed, not required
• Quick, organized hiring process - contract terms negotiated physician-to-physician
• Experienced GIs and 2027/2028 fellows encouraged to apply
• J-1 waiver sponsorship available through the Delta Regional Authority (no cap on waivers, unlike Conrad 30) and in-house immigration legal support
