Otolaryngology Job In Asheville, North Carolina
Locums Otolaryngology (ENT- Ear, Nose, Throat) Physician
We are seeking a highly
skilled and adaptable Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) Physician for a locum tenens
position in Asheville, NC. This role involves providing 24-hour emergency
department (ED) call coverage, ensuring the highest level of care for patients with
ENT-related emergencies. The position requires strong clinical expertise and
the ability to collaborate effectively with other specialists in a busy
hospital setting. The schedule consists
of 24-hour call coverage shifts from 7:00 AM to 7:00 AM the following day. The physician will be based in a hospital
environment and will use the Cerner electronic medical record (EMR) system for
documentation. The role includes assisting with oral and maxillofacial (OMF)
trauma cases, working closely with other specialists to provide comprehensive
care. To support locum providers with
the responsibility of OMF trauma call, a system is in place that includes OMF
residents on call 24/7. These residents are the first responders to any OMF
cases that present in the ED. Additionally, an oral surgeon and a plastic
surgeon are always on call for consultations, ensuring that locum providers
have the necessary support and guidance.
The ideal schedule for OMF
trauma involves oral surgery being on call every other day, with ENT and
plastics covering the days in between. The goal is to stabilize most patients
until the oral surgeons come on shift for trauma call the next morning. This
arrangement allows for smooth handoffs and continuity of care, with oral
surgeons providing follow-up care and becoming familiar with the patient.
Qualifications:
- Board Certified or Board Eligible in
Otorhinolaryngology (ENT).
- Active North Carolina medical license or
willingness to obtain one.
- Experience in managing ENT emergencies
and trauma cases is preferred.
- Proficiency in using EMR systems, particularly Cerner, is highly desirable.
