We are looking for an experienced, board-certified or board-eligible physician with a passion for preserving the quality of life for those who have a limited time to live, ensuring that each patient’s wishes are honored with dignity.

In collaboration with the referring physician, you will consult on symptom management to meet patient needs, including ordering diagnostic tests and prescribing medications and treatments. In this role, you will act as a medical resource for the nurse practitioners, physician assistants and others on our interdisciplinary hospice teams, guiding their work and assuring compliance with the highest standards of medical care. You’ll also prepare and maintain accurate patient records, charts and documents, as well as educating facility staff, co-workers and the community on all aspects of VITAS’ hospice care services.
