Visiting Physicians Association
Do you ever dream about practicing medicine without the headache of hospital rounds, ER admits, 24 hour call, and a huge overhead? Visiting Physicians Association (VPA), with 23 offices across 5 states, including 10 throughout Michigan, VPA is the largest geriatric private practice in the nation. For over Fifteen years, VPA has been dedicated to providing quality healthcare to homebound individuals in the comfort of their own residence. We are committed to educating our physicians in the specialty practice of house call medicine. During the first year of employment we offer educational opportunities to prepare physicians to complete the AAHCP Home Care Credentialing Exam. Our physicians provide the highest level of house call medicine with access to full complement of services including in-home laboratory services, EKGs, echocardiograms, ultrasounds, vascular studies, Holter monitors and x-rays. VPA offers specialty programs focused on allowing patients to age in place such as; Geriatric Cardiology, Geriatric Pulmonology, Geriatric Balance, Prognostic Modeling, and Palliative Care.
Working for VPA enables a physician to have a quality of life that is unsurpassed. We offer a Monday through Friday work schedule with no hospital rounds and very minimal call. Our physicians see an average of 10 patients per day and have a census of approximately 200 patients. More time with your patients is not only more rewarding; it allows you additional time to resolve complex issues that an office setting cant provide. Home visits may provide a clue to some problems; an impaired spouse, confusion over which medications to take, interactions of medications prescribed by multiple providers, family dynamics and safety issues that normally cant be resolved in an office visit. You will also lead a multidisciplinary team of RNs, MAs and Therapists to offer your patients personalized, comprehensive, supportive and restorative care.
We provide our physicians with a competitive salary and benefit package which includes paid malpractice with tail coverage, health, dental, life, LTD, STD, paid time off, paid CME, flexible spending accounts and a 401K. We provide you with a company car and your own medical assistant to drive you to each home or facility. We currently have openings for qualified physicians in our Florence, Kentucky office.
