Additional Details / Questions Answered by Facility:
- We also have never seen ERCP requirement on an outpatient job. Typically done in the OR at the hospital (see them on inpatient coverage roles. How will an OP provider do these? If they truly require, how many of these does the doctor do each month? Done during OR time. Only a few of these are done per month - ERCP is no longer a requirement but a preference.
- Is there anesthesia support? Yes- in the OR and outpatient endoscopy suites.
- Is this an outpatient endoscopy suite procedure position or an outpatient clinic position? It is both actually. Clinic and Procedure days are a mix and dependent on the sites needs.
- What is the average number of procedures performed per day for the clinic? 8-10 scheduled procedures per day.
- What are the hours for the procedures and hours for clinic per day? This is variable and dependent on sites needs. Meaning dates can be full clinic days while other days are a mix of clinic & procedures.
- How much time do they get for a lunch break? Provider preference 30 or 60 mins
- What type of reporting do they use? Provation
- EVS is one of the procedures listed in the job duties. What is this and is an absolute requirement? No it is not a hard requirement.
