We are looking for a provider that can commit to 3 weeks per month + call or full time (preferable) starting Jan.
Provider needs to be board certified in BOTH Hematology and Oncology.
- Mon Fri 8am 5pm (1hour unpaid lunch). OT will apply after 8 hours minimum.
- Weekend Call Fri (5pm) Mon (7am) on a rotation. On call rotation with providers and on call rotation back up with APPs. Hospital rounding when on primary call rotation when needed for consults and patient's needs. Procedures N/A.
- Clinic day is seeing 18-20 patients daily. On call includes consults on the hospital side as well rounding on hospital side when on call if needed.
- What is the % of Hem vs ONC? Hem is around 65% and Onc 35%
- How many other HEM/ONC doctors are in the department? We have 2 oncologists and 4 APPs
- The APPs see most Hematology patients, and the oncologists see the Cancer patients.
- Each current oncologist sees 18-20 patients daily, and the APPs see 14-18 patients daily.
- Approximately how many patients are there in the hospital to round on during the weekend? Usually, the oncologist waits until Sunday to round 10-12 patients and handle any consults that come in from Friday evening to Sunday am. There is never an emergency cancer patient a hospitalist cannot handle; they may call for opinions.
- Is there a nurse/APP on call to field phone calls or hospital consults? No, the APPS take their own turn being primary call with one of our main oncologists as back up if they have questions.
- Is it usual that the on-call oncologist must go back to the hospital after they have made their rounds for the day? No, the hospitalist usually handles it, or again it can wait until the next day or Monday morning. If a new consult is placed it can wait, if it s something they really need an oncologist for the hospitalists team will call and let you know but 90% of the time it can wait. We have 24-48 hours to complete consults.
