Job Description

Currently, Dr. Avi, Dr. Chandran, and I are the only ones taking call in the two hospitals we cover in Bowling Green. We would like to grow our GI group over the next couple of years so that there are six physicians taking call in the hospital. We would prefer a candidate with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) capabilities.

 

We would like to add 1 to 2 physicians in 2024. Two physicians are joining us in 2023.

 

We are interested in candidates who can perform ERCP and EUS (especially EUS!!), we don't have enough volume to add a physician who ONLY does ERCP and EUS. FYI, GI's don't have to do an advanced endoscopy fellowship to perform ERCP or EUS. In fact, we have turned away several Advanced Endoscopy candidates because all they wanted to do was ERCP/EUS.

 

Here are some strengths that make our group unique that may help recruit:

• GGC provides physician autonomy in a physician owned and led private practice with supportive administrative staff (billing, coding, marketing, patient scheduling, after hours answering service, HR, and IT).  
• We have a strong focus on providing excellent patient care
• Over 100 physicians in our multi-specialty practice provide comprehensive care to our community
• A new partner can have a busy GI practice from day one.  
• Multiple experienced nurse practitioners within our department extend our community impact by providing excellent clinical care  
• Bread and butter GI practice with the option for advanced endoscopic procedures. EUS trained candidates preferred. We have esophageal manometry, Fibroscan, video capsule endoscopy, ERCP, SpyGlass, Bravo pH testing, radiofrequency ablation, and EUS.  
• Our department provides mentoring from senior partners in a collegial environment
• Full time practice manager and pre-certification coordinator on site
• GI clinic is located above the Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC)
• Investment opportunity in the ASC
• Shareholder track in GGC
• There are opportunities for community outreach and to provide care to underserved populations
• Our group partners with Kentucky Cancer Link (a state funded initiative to increase cancer screening) to provide colorectal cancer screening without creating financial hardship to qualifying patients
• Each physician rotates on the inpatient GI service with mid-level (NP or PA) support. This consolidates the inpatient duties and improves the quality of life of all partners.
• Competitive compensation with excellent benefits package including profit sharing and cash balance plan
• Great balance of productivity and quality of life!

 

Community: WKU, Gatton Academy, many great public and private K-12 schools, Hot Rods minor league baseball, SkyPAC, strong Chamber of Commerce, home of many industries, affordable housing market, Lost River Cave, hiking trails, National Corvette Museum, NCM Motorsports Park, and Beech Bend water park. Nearby: Mammoth Cave National Park, Barren River Lake, Kentucky Bourbon Trail, Nashville, and Louisville.

 

Thank you for helping us reach our goal of building a robust GI department of at least 6 physicians.
