To potential colleagues,
I am the hospitalist medical director for Sound Physicians, overseeing the dedicated hospitalist team at Brockton Hospital in Brockton, Massachusetts, just an hour’s drive from Boston. I extend a warm welcome to advanced practice providers (APPs) seeking a change. I’d like to provide you with deeper insight into who we are and what we do, focusing on our people, practice, and purpose as you contemplate your options:
People
- Brockton Hospital has been closed for a little more than a year due to a fire. It will be reopening on August 1, 2024.
- We are in the rebuilding phase and when fully staffed, our team will be comprised of ten physicians and twelve advanced practice providers (APPs). Together, they will collaborate with other hospital staff and departments to ensure the highest quality of patient care.
- We’re fortunate to have a dedicated site coordinator assigned to this team who will help maintain a healthy work-life balance.
- Our clinical performance nurse will assist in delivering an exceptional patient care experience.
- Located in Brockton, we enjoy the vibrancy of a history-rich area with excellent schools, cultural activities, sporting events, shopping, and more! Our strategic location places us between Boston and Providence, with Massachusetts shorelines just a short drive away.
Practice
- The hospital has a closed ICU with intensivists on hand 24/7. We are looking for BC nurse practitioners and physician assistants with 1 or more years of hospitalist experience.
- Your responsibilities will encompass rounds, admissions, discharges, and multidisciplinary rounds. We engage in geographic rounding when feasible.
- As part of our hospitalist team, you’ll contribute to the rapid response and code team. We are all certified in basic life support and advanced cardiovascular life support, with the intensivist team taking over the code once they arrive.
- Your hours will be 7 am to 7 pm.
- We are entertaining candidates looking for full-time, part-time, and PRN commitments. If full-time, your schedule will be 7 days on and 7 days off.
- We use Meditech and have access to our own internal informatics platform.
- Our comprehensive benefits package includes medical, dental, vision, life and AD&D insurance, long- and short-term disability, 401k with a match, paid medical malpractice and tail coverage, and an annual CME allowance. Additionally, we offer a Path to Partnership track for securing your future.
Purpose
- Our unwavering commitment is to put patients first, always.
- I chose Sound because hospitalist medicine is at our core, and the organization has established effective processes for better patient care. I remain with Sound because the medical group has allowed me to create an environment in which clinicians find the practice of medicine enjoyable again.
- We highly value and support growth and development within our hospital medicine practice, offering opportunities for exploration at the local level and within the broader medical group.
If you’d like to explore this opportunity further, please reach out to my recruiting partner, who will help connect us.
