Job description
Emergency Physician Opportunity in Central Virginia
Centra is looking for board-certified (or board eligible) emergency physicians to staff one of our four ERs in the central Virginia region: Lynchburg General Hospital, Bedford Memorial Hospital, Gretna Medical Center, and Southside Community Hospital.
You Can Expect:
Collegial, employed group with physician-heavy staffing model. All physicians in the group have an equitable standing from day one: no seniority for scheduling requests or opaque pay structures. Well-supported, months-long orientation period with limited nights and no solo site coverage.
Active nocturnist program, which decreases the night load for everyone. Nocturnists get to make their own schedule. Option to sign on for days/evenings only (no night shifts ever). No scheduled call. Variety of work settings, from busy cross-covered community trauma center to single-coverage free-standing ER.
Guaranteed requests off work up to 10 days per month. Alternate between working Christmas and Thanksgiving. You are guaranteed 3 days off surrounding your "off holiday".
Low cost of living (17% below national average), mild climate, and located near abundant outdoor, recreational, cultural and educational opportunities.
First EmPath Unit on the east coast. This is a behavioral health care space that will be staffed and managed by the behavioral health service.
What We Offer:
Competitive compensation
Sign-on bonus
Up to $120k in student loan repayment
Up to $15,000 in relocation assistance
Up to $7,500 CME allowance
