Currently have eight anesthesiologists (7.1 clinical FTE’s) and three CRNA’s

1. The primary appeal of the practice is, for the most part, anesthesiologists personally provide 1:1 care to patients in the operating rooms. We have two CRNA’s who work 0700 to 1530, with occasional overtime as needed. The “board runner” on each weekday supervises the two CRNA’s.

    

2. Anesthesiologists share two 24-hour calls: first and second. A major advantage of practice is that both first- and second-call may be taken from home, provided that the anesthesiologist can respond to a stat C- section or other emergency to begin anesthesia care within 30 minutes. Needless to say, given winters at our latitude, most anesthesiologists choose to live close to the hospital with garaged, high-clearance, 4-wheel drive vehicles.

    

3. Another major advantage of the 24-hour first call is that the anesthesiologist has the next day off. (This does not apply to first call on Saturday. Twenty-four hour first call on Saturday is followed by a twenty- four hour second call on Sunday. That Sunday second call is then followed by “first out” on Monday, one of our few 8-hour shifts.

    

4. The call anesthesiologist typically takes over an operating room from a CRNA at 1530 and is thereafter providing direct care until 7 AM. The second-call anesthesiologist is available for OB, trauma, and emergencies if first-call is already involved in another case. Both the first and the second-call anesthesiologists routinely work 12-hours from 7 AM to 7 PM during the week. First-call hours after 7 PM are highly variable. Second is rarely called back after 7 PM. Most call-backs are for labor epidurals.

    

5. There are currently 7 anesthesiologists who take first-call and 8 anesthesiologists who take second-call. On average, then, each anesthesiologist takes one twenty-four hour first-call and one twenty-four hour second-call every week. In practice, however, 2 anesthesiologists may be off in any given week. Thus, it isn’t uncommon for an anesthesiologist to work first-call on a weekday (Mon, Tu, or Wed) and then three 24-hour calls on the weekend: a 2nd-call Friday, a 2nd-call Saturday, and a 1st-call on Sunday.

    

6. Two of our seven daily positions permit our anesthesiologists to enjoy a shift of 8 hours or less! These shifts are assigned to pre-first call and post-second call. These limited work days are in addition to the day off given to the post-first call anesthesiologist.

    

7. In addition to our two 24-hour calls, we have a 3rd-position 12-hour shift 7 AM to 7 PM and a 4th-position 10.5- hour shift 7 AM to 5:30 PM. Each anesthesiologist is currently expected to take an average of 30 of the 12- hour “third” positions per year. A hypothetical week with no weekend call on either side might be: 24-hour

    

8. Paid Time Off is limited to 200 hours (25 days) per year. PTO hours are accrued at 8.33 hours per semi-monthly pay period. No additional hours are accrued after a balance of 200 hours is achieved. We also enjoy 80 hours (10 days) for continuing medical education. Utilization of these days is subject to the network’s CME policy. They expire if not used within the fiscal year (Oct 01 - Sep 30).
