Number of Hospitals for Locum Coverage

2

Patient Population

Predominantly adult, with light pediatric experience required. Specifically, locum providers should not handle surgical cases for children under three years old, except for labor and delivery (L&D) and neonatal care. Trauma experience is required.

Average Patient Volume

7-10 patients per day

Procedural Requirements

The locum must be skilled in both local and general anesthesia, including blocks and epidurals.

Work Dynamics

The locum will operate under the status of Licensed Independent Practitioners (LIPs) in Wyoming. An anesthesiology physician will not be on-site at all times, and while solo work is infrequent, the locum may be expected to work independently during on-call periods.

Anesthesia Provider Staffing

Typically, there are 3-4 anesthesia providers (CRNAs and/or MDA/DOA) available per day.

Start Date

As soon as credentialing is completed; potential to begin as early as mid-May.

End Date

Coverage is expected to continue through at least 2026, with the possibility of extending into 2027.
