Abrazo Surprise Hospital

Do you love the warm weather and being outdoors? Welcome to your next dream job in a growing area. TeamHealth is seeking an emergency medicine physician to join our team at Abrazo Surprise Hospital. The opportunity at Abrazo Surprise Hospital in Surprise, Arizona, offers a unique setting for EM physicians who are looking for a role in a micro-hospital. With 12 ED beds and a relatively low annual volume of 14,000 visits, it's an excellent environment for physicians who prefer a lower acuity, community-based setting. This could be a good fit for physicians seeking a balanced, less hectic work-life environment compared to larger, high-volume emergency departments.

Opportunity Highlights

• Low to moderate acuity: with only 14,000 visits annually and a 7% admission rate, physicians will be dealing with cases of lower complexity, which can offer a more manageable pace and focused patient care
• Support systems: TeamHealth offers strong back-end support with a hospital medicine program in place, educational resources, and nationwide access to best practices and clinical resources
• Cerner EMR: if you're already familiar with Cerner or want to gain experience with it, this could be a valuable learning opportunity
• Transfers to larger facilities: since the hospital transfers patients to Abrazo Arrowhead Campus, physicians can focus on stabilization and urgent care, without the complexity of handling more critical patients

This could be a great fit for a physician interested in working in a smaller, tight-knit community hospital where you can make a difference with each patient, enjoy the support of a well-established healthcare network, and have a manageable work schedule with 12-hour shifts. Start times are 6:00AM and 6:00PM with an APC from 12:00PM to 8:00PM.

Ideal candidates will be board certified/eligible in EM or board certified/eligible in family medicine/internal medicine with significant ED experience, and the opportunity provides a supportive environment with access to TeamHealth's vast network of resources, tools, and clinical knowledge.
