Start perm 2009 or 2010. Answers from the client:
How many ER DOCS do you need? Likely ~ 2 depending on how things go with 2 candidates currently "in progress"
Do you need Perm ER only or also locums? Perm ER only ; we're trying to wean off locums
12 or 24 hr shifts? All 12 hr
How many ER visits per month or year? 80-100+/day;or ~30,000 +/year
Is the hospital ER level 1 (toughest), 2 and/or 3? Not sure vs. USA standards, but we are ready for everything since we are the ONLY game in town; Military Hospital takes some trauma too but then passes back to us if civilians
How much do you pay for moving? One way airfare plus 2500 lbs shipping plus (up to)14 day $239/day per diem until settled (sorry so cheap, but we are most like a "county" hospital; we often joke that we get "no pay, slow pay, or low pay patients only!!")
ACLS, ATLS, BLS and PALS required? yes
Our MD's get benefits if they work 80 hrs per 2 week pay period, so most try to make that (they may try to "bunch" the days though to lengthen there breaks).
