Job Title: Inpatient Physician

Hopi Health Care Center (HHCC)

Work Schedule:

• The inpatient unit operates 24/7 with 10 to 12-hour shifts during the day.
• Shifts begin at 7:30 AM and end between 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM, depending on additional clinical duties and whether a 30-minute break is taken.
• Physicians will work one shift per day, typically in concurrent 7-day stretches, though scheduling may be flexible.

Board Certification & Qualifications:

• Must have successfully completed an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or American Osteopathic Association (AOA) accredited post-graduate training program in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, or Internal Medicine/Pediatrics.

• Must have current BLS, PALS, and ACLS certification (NRP certification is recommended).

Census:

• The average daily inpatient census is two (2) patients.

Support Staff:

• The inpatient physician will work alongside a licensed, certified, credentialed, and privileged Emergency Department physician when supporting the Fast Track service.
• Additional hospital services include an on-site pharmacy, laboratory, and radiology department with limited 24/7 availability.

Coverage:

• Approximate coverage includes one inpatient physician shift per day.
• Scheduling typically involves concurrent 7-day stretches, though adjustments may be made as needed.
• The on-duty ED Physician may write admission orders for overnight admissions, but the Inpatient Physician is responsible for completing the admission history and physical.
