To prospective teammates,

I’m the regional medical director for Sound at Rincon Hospital, located in Tucson, Arizona. I have been a part of Sound for eight years. I’m proud of the emergency medicine practice we have built and welcome interest from physicians coming out of training or desiring a career change. I want to share more about it, specifically about our people, practice, and purpose, as you consider options:

People

• We are building a new strong team, which will include a team of six physicians and two advanced practice providers (APPs). This new facility is slated to open in March 2024!
• Sound Physicians takes pride in creating a team-based atmosphere and culture in the emergency department. That includes a close and collaborative relationship with our nursing colleagues and specialists on staff at TMC Rincon.
• Our management team supports our clinicians with everything from credentialing, scheduling, and onboarding creating the highest level of provider satisfaction.

Practice

• We welcome the challenge of complex cases, working in a roughly 16,000 ED volume facility.
• TMC has partnered with Sound Physicians to provide emergency medical services and anesthesia.
• Our Sound emergency medicine team will consist of six FTEs and many part-time associates to assist with staffing. There will be two 12-hour MD shifts daily from 7 AM to 7 PM
• As patient volume increases, we will open with eight hours of APP coverage on Monday through Wednesday.

Purpose

• We put patients first. Always.
• Growth and development are key features of Sound’s practice, where teammates can expand their careers here locally and within the broader medical group.
• We’re a community-minded team and encourage our team members who want to contribute in and out of the hospital to help make our local community thrive.
