The need for physicians is growing by the day and the shortage of physicians is affecting our most vulnerable citizens, our seniors! Most physicians like you would rather be doing what they love, which is helping and not dealing with insurance companies and the bureaucracy of large healthcare systems. Right?
The physicians who want to work with and care for our seniors are a special breed. Is this you? The need for physicians working with skilled nursing facilities is growing rapidly; doctors used to be seen as superheroes. The peace of mind you will bring with those seniors you visit is priceless.
We need those superheroes NOW! So I am sending out the call for general surgeon physicians who want to work in the intimate setting of caring for our seniors. Over 80% of your time will be focused on what you love to do, which is to identify, implement, and improve the care of patients.
This self-starting, entrepreneurial individual must be personable and comfortable in a post-acute care setting. Work with a schedule that works best for you. Gain autonomy in your career. Let's talk and find out if this opportunity is right for you.
