COMPANY PROFILE:
Established in 1994, this multi-specialty physician group practice is focused in primary care (internal medicine and family medicine), but also boasts specialists in gastroenterology, radiology, urology, pediatrics, endocrinology, surgery, and more. They employ a provider team of nearly 20 practitioners and are currently hiring due to growth.

POSITION DESCRIPTION:
The practice has seven (7) offices in the greater Melbourne area, all located within a 15-mile radius to ensure minimal commutes for providers choosing to serve multiple locations.

The average number of patients per day varies by need and physician preference. Most physicians see an average of 22 to 25 patients per day, but this number is not mandated.

Typically, physicians work with the support of a partnered nurse practitioner or physician assistant.

Visits are scheduled based on the estimated length of time needed to ensure optimal attention for each patient. All patients are adult or geriatric.

Typical duties of the role include:

- review patient histories and perform physical examinations
- conduct physical evaluations and diagnostic tests to determine diagnoses
- provide appropriate treatments and patient care plans
- recommend management, including preventive healthcare and habits
- prescribe medications
- perform a wide range of non-invasive gastroenterology procedures
- formulate ongoing treatment and disease management plans
- provide relationship-centered care, taking into account psychosocial and physical needs
- maintain complete and accurate medical records
- communicate effectively with the clinical team to ensure total delivery of quality care
- participate in medical staff educational programs and meetings

Physicians work with clinical assistants who room and prep patients, as well as assist during the visits as needed.

The practice utilizes the Veradigm (Allscripts) EHR system.

On-call duties are very minimal. An answering service and hospitalists address the majority of concerns and this position would rarely (if ever) be called.

REQUIREMENTS:
- Florida medical license
- DEA
- Board Certified or Eligible, Gastroenterology
- no experience required
