Cardiothoracic Surgery Locums in VA | 1-2 weeks/month

Job description

Job Description
• Perform a wide array of cardiothoracic surgical procedures, including but not limited to treating patients with adult acquired and congenital cardiac disease, including coronary artery bypass surgery, aortic surgery, valvular surgery, atrial fibrillation management procedures, transcatheter aortic valve replacement, and endovascular aneurysm repair.
• Provide pre- and post-operative care to patients in conjunction with the multi-disciplinary care team.
• Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of advanced practitioners, physicians, and other members of the healthcare delivery team to provide outstanding comprehensive care.
• The clinic side is seeing patients here in the office during the day. The clinic is open from 8 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday. We have several APPs who does the bulk of the patient load, but the provider does see the patient after the APP has done a workup. Most of the patients would be post-op visits. I believe that clinic is only 2 or 3 days per week (depending on the week)
• The physician would do rounding in the hospital between 7 am and 8 am, there is usually an APP in attendance as well. Clinic after rounding usually happens in the afternoons (so half a day), the 24-hour call meaning that if something came up the physician would have to report back to the hospital for consult or in-patient. Again, there is always an APP on the floor whether its in clinic or in the hospital.
