Hey all, rural medicine is a great thing and the patients are gratefull for all the care they get. However, not all rural health clinics/critical care access hospitals are the same.
I found out after the fact that I was the 6th provider to go through Wals in 14 months, not a great track record and the clinic manager resigned soon after. This place treats the doctors like janitors, no say about call, schedule, what patients you can see. The clinic staff tell you how it is and the nursing staff runs to the admin if they have to lift a finger to work and actually take care of the patients instead of reading the paper. There are lots of other underlying issues as well.
If a recruiter tries to present this job to you - run the other way. They breached my contract in so many ways, I stopped at 3 pages.
