    Job Description

    As a Criticalist, you will play a key role in managing critically ill and hospitalized patients, overseeing ICU-level care, and supporting the ER team with complex and life-threatening cases.

    You will collaborate closely with other specialists, including internal medicine, to ensure comprehensive and high-quality patient care, while also helping guide protocols, mentoring team members, and elevating the level of medicine across the hospital. Collaboration across specialties is a key component of modern specialty hospitals and allows for the best possible outcomes for critically ill patients.

    Why This Opportunity Stands Out

    • Busy, established 24/7 ER with strong and growing caseload
    • Opportunity to build and lead a critical care service
    • Collaborative environment with access to specialty support, including Internal Medicine
    • State-of-the-art facility with advanced diagnostic and monitoring capabilities
    • Ability to make a meaningful impact on hospital growth and patient care

    What We Offer:

    • Competitive compensation package
    • Opportunity to shape and grow a new specialty service
    • Access to advanced equipment and a strong referral base
    • Supportive, team-oriented environment
    • Work-life balance in a coastal setting

    If you’re looking to join a forward-thinking, collaborative specialty hospital where you can build something meaningful and practice at the highest level, we would love to connect.
