Family Practice - Without OB Physician

Family Practice - Without OB Physician at Critical Access Network, LLC summary :

As a Family Practice Physician without OB, you will conduct evaluations based on disability questionnaires for veterans, ensuring they receive their benefits while adhering to COVID protocols. You will not provide clinical care or prescribe medication but will document responses and manage your appointments based on your availability. Credentialing and online training are required before you can begin evaluations at designated locations.

COVID Protocols : PPE equipment provided, temperatures checked for providers and veterans, rooms sanitized between appointments, appointments staggered to support 6ft of social distancing, and other measures and expectations.

Position Overview : As a locum, y ou will simply conduct an evaluation based on disability questionnaires provided by the VA and attached to each veteran's records. You will not prescribe medicine. These evaluations are done so that the veteran can continue to receive their disability benefits . Each evaluation takes roughly 40min-1hr, and that includes documenting their responses and any notes you may have. There are no clinical care requirements. You will not be their primary care provider.

Schedule and Frequency : Veterans are only scheduled when you are available. You will coordinate your schedule with a Scheduler. Example : If you only have nights and weekends or can work 4 days each month, you will be scheduled based on your availability.

Volume : As well, there are no minimums or maximums regarding the number of patients to be seen per shift.

Location and Sites : Veterans will be seen in person, at an offsite medical facility, a doctor s office that has been rented for the day, that will be close to you, or within a reasonable driving distance of up to 50 miles. Sometimes a phone consultation is had to clarify a veteran's condition or respond to an addendum from the VA.

Credentialing : A brief introduction will be conducted prior to credentialing. Credentialing usually takes up to 7-10 days once you have sent in and completed all documentation and assessments.

Training : After credentialing is complete, a welcome email will be sent with a link to the online training. After this, you will have access to a representative at all times to help when and if needed.

Completion of charting / addendums : All charting is done in an EHR. Addendums can be found here, too. If charting is not complete on time, the veterans do not receive their benefits, and the potential for additional work is reduced.

• Current cv
• Medical license(unrestricted)
• Confirm either BC or BE
