Physician / Physical Medicine and Rehab / South Carolina / Locum or Permanent / Locum Tenens Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine Coverage Needed in Columbia, SC Job

Pediatric PMR Physician

I am working with Prisma Health Children's Hospital-Midlands in Columbia, SC, and they are looking for some Pediatric PMR coverage from June 19th-26th.

Job Description

• Coverage needed for one of their full-time Pediatric PMR physicians.
• This facility will accept an adult PMR physician who does or is willing to see children.
• Shift times: M-F 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
• No night call; 24-hour call on Saturday/Sunday.
• This facility averages 5 new patients per shift; no new patients will be accepted during times of coverage, and efforts will be made to minimize discharges.
• The physician will supervise 2 largely self-sufficient PAs who can manage notes, orders, and communication with families.
• Thursdays involve a team conference with the entire rehab team (nursing, therapists, child life, music therapy, case management, and sometimes pharmacy) to discuss progress, goals, and anticipated discharge for each patient. The permanent physician usually leads these meetings, but the PAs are always present and can take the lead.
• The primary need/reason for coverage is SCDHHS requirement for an MD or DO with rehabilitation training seeing each patient face-to-face at least twice each week after the first week of their stay (3 times during the first week).

Requirements

• Physicians must have an active South Carolina license.
• Physicians must be Board Certified or truly Board Eligible.

Compensation

• $305 per hour with an 8-hour guarantee M-F.
• $2,440 per 24-hour call on Saturday/Sunday.
• $366 per hour for any hour worked over the 8-hour guarantee M-F or any hour worked in the facility while on call.
