Whitehorse General Hospital has a total inpatient capacity of 50 beds:
Reporting to the Chief of Staff(s), hospitalist physicians provide inpatient care at Whitehorse General Hospital (WGH), specifically for General medical and intensive care to adult and pediatric in-patients.
You can expect to see attached and unattached inpatients, from remote communities or unstable housing, including in ICU (supported by anesthesia) and medical issues on psychiatry. Patients tend to be more medically complex than other hospitalist programs because we don’t have ICU or IM available to take over, though they’re an easy phone call or “app message” away. Great variety, high acuity and good support with local general surgeons/orthopedics/pediatrics/psychiatry/anesthesia.
Remuneration:
• Hospitalists work a 9-hour day, 0800-1700, 7 days a week and are rostered through the Chief of Staff at Whitehorse General Hospital, with an on-call requirement from 1700 to 0800 24/7/365.
• The daily rate for hospitalists is $2,070 through an alternate payment arrangement (APA). On-call is billed using a fee-for-service model and is remunerated outside of the APA.
• Hospitalist services provided outside of the 9-hour workday are billed using a fee-for-service model and are remunerated outside of the APA.
