Community Hospitalist Position

In the coming months, MetroHealth will be transforming space at the Cleveland Heights and Parma facilities to accommodate patients in need of hospitalization for lower acuity conditions. This $25 million project will add single occupancy patient rooms to the current facilities, which already have emergency departments and services including lab, pharmacy, and radiology. The introduction of inpatient care at these facilities is part of MetroHealth's strategy to provide patients with access to advanced levels of care in their own communities. The community hospitals, slated to be ready for patients by January, will offer adult medicine and focus on caring for patients in need of shorter stays.

The Division of Hospital Medicine at MetroHealth Medical Center seeks outstanding clinicians to join our division. We have an exciting opportunity to work in hospital medicine at MetroHealth's community hospitals in Cleveland Heights and Parma. MetroHealth is a tertiary care center and level 1 trauma center that serves as a major teaching and research campus for CWRU. We are the only public hospital in Cuyahoga County. Our Community Hospitals are opening to provide expanded access to inpatient services for our patients. The hospitals will be staffed with a blend of physician and APN support. Physician scheduling will be flexible. Clinical care includes general internal medicine, post operative, and telemetry services. Extensive consultative support is anticipated. These units will be models of patient centered care.

Additional benefits include an opportunity to request rotations on the teaching services at MetroHealth's main campus for qualified applicants with an interest in academic medicine. Applicants may also obtain academic rank at the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) School of Medicine.

Applicants must be BE/BC in internal medicine. Excellent clinical and communication skills are strongly desired. Academic rank will be commensurate with experience. H1B sponsorship available. We are hiring now!
