- Other Details: The facility, which is stroke-certified and trauma level 2 is looking for a provider to cover beeper calls only. Hospital service with 2 or three APP’s. Normal patient load varies, typically about 15 on the service managed with at least 2 APP’s M-F, 1 APP on the weekends. If the service is busy there can be a 3rd APP added to the group if lots of consults coming in. The facility is typically consultants, hospitalist service is typically the admitting service. Cardiology hospital service “normal” times are 0800-1700 but can run a little later if the service is busy. Would say most often it is just an 8-9 hour day. A typical day starts with a “tabletop” rounding with the APP team, dividing up any pending consults (APP’s do the workup and present it to the cardiologist). Then physically rounding on patients that need to see the physician. APPs primarily do the H&P or Consult notes, progress notes, and discharge summaries and enter any orders in the computer. Night call as per the schedule below. Starts at 1700 and goes until 0800 the following day. There would always be an interventional cardiologist as a backup for emergent cath/STEMI calls. Hospitalists typically do the admission at night and consult cardiology in the morning. While there may be some sporadic echo or nuc study to read, this would not be the locum's primary role. Someone else would be assigned to be the primary non-invasive reader of the day. Locum does not need to be a nuc reader. If the locum is able to do TEE the facility may have them do an occasional one when the assigned person for the day is backed up, The locum is not required to be a TEE doc but most are. There is an interventional cardiologist in-house each day M-F assigned to perform any procedures that would come from the hospital service that day. On weekends an interventional cardiologist is on call 24 hours a day for anything that needs to be done over the weekend.
