About this opportunity
Loma Linda University Faculty Medical Group lists this Anesthesiologist - Per Diem opportunity in highland, California. Review the employer’s description below for duties, qualifications and application requirements.
Job description
Loma Linda University Faculty Medical Group, Department of Anesthesiology, has an immediate need for board-eligible or board-certified anesthesiologists to join our team on a per diem basis. This position is a good fit for an anesthesiologist who wants to practice in an academic setting without a full-time commitment: a clinician building a practice elsewhere, stepping back from full-time work, or looking to add shifts. Join our collegial environment where the people beside you are the best part of the job.
The Practice
Per diem anesthesiologists work alongside our faculty caring for adult patients at a Level I trauma center, two surgical specialty hospitals within Loma Linda University Health, and a busy ambulatory surgery center, and provide obstetric anesthesia for the labor and delivery service at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. The overall case mix includes major abdominal, orthopedic, vascular, neurosurgical, ENT, and urologic cases, trauma, obstetrics, and non-operating-room anesthesia. Supervision of residents is typically 1:2 with CRNA supervision at 1:2, up to 1:4. Shift assignments are scheduled by mutual availability. Ideally, per diem faculty work the equivalent of 20% to 49% including weekdays, weeknights, and/or weekends; shift can be clustered to fit scheduling needs. We encourage the equivalent of one day per week or one week per month, because it keeps per diem physicians familiar with our sites, systems, and colleagues.
The Faculty
Per diem physicians hold a faculty appointment in the Department of Anesthesiology. Our faculty cover for one another, consult freely, and share the difficult cases. Per diem physicians are members of that team. You will be oriented by experienced faculty, scheduled alongside people who are glad to have you, and treated as a colleague.
Teaching
Our residents are the reason many of us chose academic practice. Per diem anesthesiologists supervise residents and CRNAs in the operating room, and we are looking for physicians who find that work rewarding and who bring patience and high standards.
Compensation
Starting compensation is $300 – $350 per hour, adjusted for weekday, weeknight or weekend shifts. Details are discussed with the department during the recruitment process.
