Acute Care Physician Assistant

**Join Our Promedica Charles and Virginia Hickman Team as a Hospital Medicine Physician Assistant – A Role Designed for You**

We believe in bringing “better” to our local community in Adrian —better care, better collaboration, and a deep commitment to the people we serve. We’d love to talk if you’re looking for a role that supports your professional growth and connection to a vibrant community.

We are hiring for a Nocturnist position. A Nocturnist role requires working exclusively overnight shifts. Candidates must be comfortable with a nocturnal schedule and possess the ability to deliver exceptional patient care during nighttime hours.

**People First in Adrian**

Local Team Collaboration:

• Join our hospital medicine team of five physicians and four advanced practice providers with the support of a clinical performance nurse at ProMedica Charles and Virginia Hickman Hospital.
• Our hospital medicine team routinely participates in hospital committees, including the medical executive committee, quality care council, pharmacy and therapeutics, and infection prevention and control, among many other hospital groups and ad hoc committees.
• We have diverse backgrounds, and our hospitalists engage in various activities outside of hospital work, including travel, hiking, hunting, and volunteering. We regularly have informal team lunches at the hospital to continue to remain connected with each other. Our environment is highly collaborative and supportive.

Qualifications:

• Acute care physician assistant; hospital medicine experience is strongly preferred.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States.

**Practice in the Heart of the Community**

Scheduling:

• Our day team comprises two physicians, one ICU hospitalist, one non-ICU hospitalist, and an advanced practice provider. An advanced practice provider manages our nocturnist service, and telemedicine is a backup for managing the intensive care unit.
• We have team meetings usually once a month, but we also have informal/impromptu meetings to discuss urgent issues and have real-time solutions to problems.
• Most of us like to spend time with our families or outdoors, so a flexible schedule is available, and we cover for each other when we’re out.

Key Responsibilities:

• We welcome the challenge of complex cases, working in a 9-bed open ICU. Our ICU-capable physician performs procedures during the day and is the backup for the night.

Living and Working in Adrian:

Adrian offers a charming blend of small-town warmth and diverse cultural amenities. Residents appreciate the city’s picturesque parks, historic architecture, and vibrant downtown, while the proximity to local colleges like Adrian College and Siena Heights University contributes to a lively community atmosphere. With a low cost of living and a strong sense of community, Adrian is an inviting place to call home for those seeking a balanced and welcoming living environment.

**Purpose-Driven Work with Local Impact**

• Our guiding principle is patient-first care, which means we focus on the people of Adrian and nearby areas. You’ll be part of a team that’s making a real difference in the health of our neighbors.
• A focus on growth and development is a key feature of Sound’s practices, where teammates can expand their careers here locally and within the broader medical group.
• We’re a community-minded team and encourage our team members who want to contribute in and out of the hospital to help make our local community thrive.
