DESCRIPTION

Keep NYC as home and earn at a higher travel rate. Love living in New York City,
but ready for your emergency medicine career to offer greater earning potential?

TeamHealth is seeking a compassionate, adaptable emergency medicine physician to
join our Western New York and Buffalo HIT Team. This regional travel position

higher compensation associated with a travel role, all without leaving New York
state.

* Sisters of Charity Hospital
* Sisters of Charity Hospital St. Joseph Campus
* Kenmore Mercy Hospital
* Rome Hospital

You've worked hard to build your emergency medicine career. This is your
opportunity to make that experience work harder for you. Instead of limiting
your practice to one hospital or one emergency department, the HIT Team allows
you to bring your skills to multiple clinical environments while benefiting from
the enhanced earning potential of regional travel.

Work where your expertise is needed, experience a refreshing change from the
intensity of city practice, and return home to the energy and lifestyle you love
in New York City.

Why Join the HIT Team?

* Earn at the higher rate offered for this regional travel position; travel
included
* Maintain New York City as your home base
* Practice across six distinct emergency department settings
* Add flexibility and variety to your clinical career
* Care for diverse patient populations across New York state
* Build relationships with experienced clinical teams throughout the region
* Strengthen your skills by adapting to different hospital environments
* Access TeamHealth’s national network, clinical resources, and organizational
support

From Buffalo's revitalized waterfront and Niagara Falls to the scenic Mohawk
Valley, this position offers a chance to see more of New York while increasing
your professional and financial opportunities. This role is ideal for an
emergency medicine physician who is comfortable traveling, adapts quickly,
values teamwork, and wants more from each clinical shift. If you are a
board-certified or board-eligible EM physician or a primary care trained
physician with extensive EM experience, apply today to begin your next great
adventure!

Competitive compensation, with an estimated base salary range of $280 to $280
hourly. This is an independent contractor position.
