The physician may also opt into being responsible for providing teaching and supervision to medical students and residents. The physician is responsible for appropriate coding and corporate compliance and may be responsible for some general administrative responsibilities of the practice. The physician reports directly to the Hospitalist Medical Director and understands and supports the mission values and management of WakeMed Physician Practices and WakeMed. EMR is Epic. Shift schedule is flexible and variable with 10-hour shifts that are typically 8 am to 6 pm though other shifts exist that may necessitate afternoon and evening hours (e. g. 2 pm to midnight, 4 pm to 2 am). We do have a dedicated nocturnist group which makes overnight shifts less likely. ICU is closed with onsite 24/7 critical care support.
