Gastroenterologist Needed in Kingsport, TN | ERCP | 24-Hour Call | ~2-Year Assignment

Job description

This is a long-term, approximately two-year, 24-hour call gastroenterology opportunity at an acute care hospital in Kingsport, Tennessee. Coverage is 24-hour call each day within a confirmation, typically Monday 7:00a to the following Monday 7:00a, with one physician working 1:1 with an APP. The provider is onsite approximately 8-10 hours per day on a Monday-Friday schedule with weekend call coverage; night call includes beeper coverage and 24-hour weekend call, with rare after-hours callbacks - most after-hours responsibilities are phone consults. Credentialing runs approximately 60-90 days, travel is billable, and providers must be comfortable with a fast pace and high volume.

The setting is the inpatient endoscopy suite and main OR, with blocked time available in the endoscopy suite and flexibility around EUS scheduling. Volume is estimated at 7-8 procedures per day; consult volume varies, and the provider may assist with rounding. The population is adults, with some possibly under 18. The physician should be well experienced in all general GI and ERCP cases and procedures - ERCP is required and EUS is not. Olympus equipment is used, and documentation is in Epic (Epic proficiency required, as the facility will not train).

Candidates should be Board Certified in Gastroenterology, with ERCP required, a Tennessee license or IMLC required before confirming dates, a TN DEA, ACLS and BLS, and a clean background. A TN CSR is preferred.

• Long-term (~2-year) GI call role with ERCP required (no EUS required) - works 1:1 with an APP
• Onsite ~8-10 hours/day weekdays with weekend call; mostly phone consults after hours
• Blocked endoscopy suite time - Tennessee license or IMLC required before confirming dates; Epic required
