Working With EPT

Emergency Physicians of Tidewater is dedicated to the idea of a partnership that is equitable and democratic. Physician longevity is our goal. The group is run by an elected Board of Directors, with defined terms of service and representation from all levels of the practice, including the physicians who are in their pre-partnership years with the group. We have made a commitment to lifestyle issues and achieve that committeemen with close attention to the business aspects of the practice.

While most of the group prefers to work primarily at one or two hospitals, we all enjoy the opportunity to rotate among each of our hospitals. We work eight-hour shifts with lots of double coverage, including residents and PA's. One hospital, DePaul, has twelve-hour shifts on weekends. There is always an MD on call for the group who responds to a department that becomes busy.

To make work more enjoyable and to improve billing and documentation, we dictate all of our charts.

Our schedule is highly flexible and includes a subgroup of night owls who do all midnight shifts. Shifts are distributed equitably, regardless of seniority, with the exception of members over fifty who are free of working midnights. Our schedule is based on a 36-hour work week. New members of the group are hired as employees during the pre-partnership years.

Because most of the partners here plan to retire from EPT, we are cautious about who we hire. We are looking for people with an interest to be with the group long-term and who want to contribute to the overall quality of our practice. EPT is a dynamic, stable group with a tremendous variety of practice opportunities. We maintain a high standard in all of our endeavors.

We will request references prior to arranging an interview.  If you remain interested in EPT considering this basic overview, please send us your resume.
