Last Update: 11/11/24

St. Luke s Health System is seeking a physician to join the St. Luke s Palliative & Supportive Care team. We seek a highly skilled and compassionate Board-Certified or Eligible Palliative Physician to join our dynamic interdisciplinary team. Our institution is renowned for its commitment to excellence in healthcare, and our palliative care program plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for our patients facing serious illnesses. We are looking for a candidate who is passionate about palliative medicine and improving the quality of life for patients and their families. The physician will work closely with an interdisciplinary team that includes other physicians, advanced practice providers, social workers, and additional support staff.

As a Board-Certified Palliative Physician, you will play a vital role in our palliative care program, providing expert medical care to patients with serious illnesses, focusing on symptom management and pain relief, and helping them understand their medical care and their clinical trajectory better and navigate their future according to their goals of care and improving their overall quality of life. You will collaborate closely with our interdisciplinary team, including nurses, social workers, chaplains, and other healthcare professionals, to develop comprehensive care plans that address our patients' physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Our team sees patients in inpatient and outpatient settings at multiple locations throughout the Treasure Valley. We are looking to expand our inpatient coverage to include weekend availability and are searching for an additional inpatient physician to help our team grow. There may be opportunities in the future for outpatient expansion. We currently do not cover night calls, but this may also be a future direction for expansion. You will have the chance to make a meaningful impact on the lives of our patients and their families while working in a collaborative and supportive environment.

What you can expect from this role:

  • Great team culture with a highly collegial, multidisciplinary team;
  • Competitive salary with potential production and quality incentives;
  • Generous recruitment incentives;
  • Hospital employed with great benefits, retirement, malpractice, vacation and CME allowance;
