Pulmonary Critical Care -Elizabethtown, KY- up to $200,000 in recruitment incentives

Baptist Health Medical Group is looking for a Board eligible or certified Pulmonary Critical Care to add to the well-established, growing clinic located in Elizabethtown, KY. The group consists of 5 physicians and 8 APCs with experienced support staff. Our physicians are the intensivists that oversee the ICU/CCU at Baptist Hardin. Procedures provided include but not limited to are chest tubes, intubation, central line placement, bronchoscopy with and without ebus, thoracentesis, paracentesis, pleurX drains, and ION robotic bronchoscopy.

Pulmonologists are divided between both pulmonary medicine and critical care. Physicians currently work on a Q5 rotation comprised of dedicated time in the clinic, a hospital floor consulting week, and a seven-day rotation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) that requires 24-hour call during that 5 week rotation. This rotation allows physician to gain experience and expertise in both outpatient and inpatient settings.

In the clinic and hospital, there is support from Advanced Practice Clinicians (APCs) who will assist in providing comprehensive patient care. This collaborative approach ensures provision of the necessary support and resources to deliver high-quality care to Baptist Health Hardin patients.

Additionally, sleep volume is available. There is an opportunity to be involved in the evaluation and treatment of sleep-related disorders. Currently patients are referred out for testing and some of the pulmonologists choose to manage their own patients, but some defer to the Baptist Health Sleep Medicine group.

Overall, this position offers a well-balanced division of time between pulmonary medicine, critical care, and potentially sleep medicine, providing a diverse and fulfilling role as a pulmonologist.
