The opportunity at Abrazo Surprise Hospital in Surprise, Arizona, offers a unique setting for EM physicians who are looking for a role in a micro-hospital. With 12 ED beds and a relatively low annual volume of 14,000 visits, it's an excellent environment for physicians who prefer a lower acuity, community-based setting. This could be a good fit for physicians seeking a balanced, less hectic work-life environment compared to larger, high-volume emergency departments.

Start times are 6:00AM and 6:00PM with an APC from 12:00PM to 8:00PM. Ideal candidates will be board certified/eligible in EM or board certified/eligible in family medicine/internal medicine with significant ED experience, and the opportunity provides a supportive environment with access to TeamHealth's vast network of resources, tools, and clinical knowledge.
