Job Details

Overview

This position is located at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, Chief Department of Medicine, Fort Hood, TX.

Ft Hood is nicknamed The Great Place because of the quality of life the post and area offer Soldiers and their families. Ft Hood covers a total of 340 sq miles and rests in the beautiful 'hill and lake' country of Central Texas, between Killeen and Copperas Cove. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Ft Hood is the ideal location because of warm winters and hot summers. The nearby lakes, Belton and Stillhouse, offer year round outdoor recreation activities.

There is no defined work shift for an intensivist. The incumbent is expected to work in 7 day cycles and be available 24 hours a day to meet the needs of patients in the Intensive Care Unit. The intensivist is not expected to stay in house overnight but must be available for immediate return to the hospital and will be on pager call to assist and remotely supervise resident physicians 24 hours per day in a 7 day cycle. The intensivist is expected to work two 7 day cycles per month. Those 7 day cycles may include attending on the inpatient medical service as opposed to the intensive care unit depending on the needs of the department.

Medical malpractice liability insurance is not required for federal civilian healthcare providers as they are covered by the Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C. § 1346(b)) while acting within the scope of their employment.

“As a civilian serving in the DHA, I get what I was missing most in my old practice. I was tired of the punishing work schedule and dealing with insurance and all the stress it brings. Now, I still practice alongside great physicians in a state-of-the-art facility, but in an environment that allows me to have a life outside the practice.

Best of all, even though I'm a civilian, I receive excellent federal benefits.”
