Job Description
The primary responsibility is to provide timely surgical evaluation and intervention for patients presenting to the ED or already admitted with urgent surgical needs. Surgicalists manage the patient's entire surgical care continuum from admission through post-operative care and discharge, which may include follow-up in clinic. Work closely and collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team, including ED physicians, hospitalists, anesthesiologists, nurses, physician assistants, and surgical technologists, to ensure seamless patient care and smooth handoffs. Surgicalists focus on implementing evidence-based protocols to streamline patient care processes, reduce patient wait times for surgery, and decrease the length of hospital stays. Participate in data-driven quality improvement practices, serve on hospital committees, and help ensure high-quality clinical outcomes. Readily available for consultations with other hospitalists and medical staff, providing guidance even when surgery might not be immediately necessary, improving overall diagnostic and care coordination. 24 hour shifts; 10 shifts a month
