To prospective teammates,

I am the medical director for UNC NASH in Rocky Mount, NC. I have been a part of Sound Physicians for six years. I am proud of the hospitalist 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 a closely knit, established team of 18 physicians and six advanced practice providers, with the support of a clinical performance nurse.
• Our team is comprised of clinicians from diverse geographic, educational, and training backgrounds who lean on and learn from each other in their approach to patient care.
• We are a very stable team. We are steadily expanding and looking to add more clinicians to our team.
• Within the hospital, we work closely with our colleagues in other departments to ensure a smooth transition of care. Our clinicians serve on various committees. We are also part of teams working on reducing the HAIs.
• Rocky Mount is a community rich in culture and natural beauty. We are two hours away from the beach and three hours away from the mountains.
• We proudly sponsor H1B and J1 visa candidates. Sound has excellent in-house visa specialists as well as our licensing and credentialing experts. All required filing fees for the visa are paid and services are covered by Sound.

Practice

• We welcome the challenge of complex cases, working in a semi-open ICU with intensivist coverage during the day and E-ICU coverage at night. Our team is not expected to do procedures.
• Our hospitalist team is part of the code team. Our clinicians are certified in basic life support and advanced cardiovascular life support.
• We offer a flexible schedule, enabling time to be spent with family, friends, or other interests. We collectively cover for each other when we are out.
• Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life and AD&D insurance, long- and short-term disability, 401k with match, paid medical malpractice and tail coverage, and annual CME allowance.
• Nocturnists receive an additional bonus and a higher competitive compensation package!

Purpose

• We put patients first. Always.
• A focus on growth and development is a key feature of Sound Medical Group practices, where teammates can expand their careers here locally and within the broader medical group.
• We are 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.
