Job description

Join A Dynamic Team at Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, as a Hospital Medicine Physician

We believe in bringing “better” to our local community in Cedar Rapids —better care, better collaboration, and a deep commitment to the people we serve. We’d love to talk if you’re looking for a role that supports your professional growth and connection to a vibrant community.

We are hiring for both a full-time Hospitalist and a full or part-time Nocturnist. A Nocturnist role requires working exclusively overnight shifts. Candidates must be comfortable with a nocturnal schedule and possess the ability to deliver exceptional patient care during nighttime hours.

People First in Cedar Rapids

Local Team Collaboration:

• Join our close-knit team of 14 physicians and 8 advanced practice providers at Mercy Medical Center.
• We have enjoyed our partnership with Mercy Medical Center since 2015 and are a trusted and consulted team on many hospital-wide initiatives.
• We value our collaboration with the nurses and specialists throughout the hospital. Patients are our top priority, and we do a great job of always keeping that focus at the forefront.

Qualifications:

• Board-certified/eligible in family or internal medicine.
• All levels of experience are encouraged to apply.
• We proudly sponsor H1B visa candidates and provide in-house visa specialists, licensing, and credentialing support. All required filing fees for the visa are covered by Sound.

At this time, we can only consider H1B visa candidates. Mercy is subject to Conrad 30 J1 Waiver eligibility, and Iowa has filled its 30 positions for 2025.

Practice in the Heart of the Community

Scheduling:

• Scheduling is a team effort. While most shifts are days, everyone rotates mid-shifts monthly and takes minimal night shifts.
• Flexibility is key in a block schedule; this team supports it whenever possible.
• Full-time hospitalist needed.
• Full or part-time nocturnist needed.

Key Responsibilities:

• We welcome the challenge of managing various cases, varying in acuity and complexity.
• Our critical care team manages all ICU patients on vents, pressors, and BiPap. Our team may have a patient or two in the ICU; however, they have lower acuity and are very manageable.
• If you are comfortable with procedures, you can do them. However, they are not required.
• We respond to codes and rapid alerts on our patients, as well as if one is called and we are nearby. Our team is highly engaged in helping each other in any way we can.
