JOB DESCRIPTION:
We are a remote island, and the only hospital and ICU available. Our patients have no other facility to
divert to, no medivac service to a larger hospital. We are it. Except as noted below, subspecialty referral
is NOT available and the successful applicant will need to become comfortable in providing care in a
resource-limited environment. Nevertheless, the expected standard of care is that of a specialty clinic
anywhere else in the U.S.
Our acuity runs from minor to severe, and most of our patients have multiple medical issues
compounded by financial and social restraints. Length of hospital stay for some patients tends to be
longer on the island as there are no nursing homes/halfway houses.
BENEFITS:
- International flight from point of recruitment for employee, spouse, and dependents. Return flight to original embarkation is included and will be arranged upon completion of contract
- Malpractice coverage is provided under the Tort Claims act
- Annual Leave: Eight (8) hours per pay period (bi-weekly), on a full-time Employment Contract
- Sick Leave: Four (4) hours per pay period (bi-weekly)
- Health and Life Group Insurance: Cost-sharing per Corporate policies; Insurance: AETNA Health Insurance
- Life Insurance: Individual Assurance Company Life, Health, & Accident (IAC)
- 401a Retirement Plan Option: ASC Trust Corporation
- National Health Service Corp site. Those interested can apply for loan repayment
What is great about this job:
- Tropical island climate without seasons, steady average temp of 84 degrees with occasional short rain showers.
- World-class snorkeling and dive spots in crystal-clear waters.
- Affordable jumping-off point for exploring Asia, Australia, and the Western Pacific islands.
- Fascinating WWII and Pacific Islander historical sites.
- Tort reform area with minimal risk of litigation based on CNMI laws.
One of the lowest tax burdens in the U.S.:
- If in the CNMI 183 days or more during the tax year (and otherwise meets requirements), then CNMI residency status is met for that year. As a result, earnings are taxed at the maximum CNMI (“state”) tax rate of 9% and there is a 90% rebate of U.S. federal income tax on income earned within the CNMI with no additional Federal income taxes.
- If in the CNMI less than 183 days, the IRS taxes the income earned within the CNMI the same as U.S. mainland earnings for federal income tax purposes.
- For state taxes, money earned within the CNMI has a maximum “state” tax of 9%. Money earned outside of the CNMI is paid at that state’s tax rate.
- There is no sales tax in the CNMI.
Finally...Life outside of the hospital gets even better. Living on Saipan is simple, but maintains some of
the creature comforts that you wouldn’t otherwise get on an island this size. Quite reasonable cost of
living, great restaurants, golf, water sports, diving, and easy access to travel throughout the world with
direct flights to Guam, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong. Also, it is a great place for family. There are good early
education schools, as well as both public and private high schools that send students to top colleges and
universities in the US, Europe, and Asia. There are many WWII history sites and museums, as well as
artifacts from the war that you can find while exploring the jungle or swimming in the lagoon.
