Join Our Promedica Charles and Virginia Hickman Team as a Hospital Medicine Physician Assistant – A Role Designed for You

We believe in bringing “better” to our local community in Adrian —better care, better collaboration, and a deep commitment to the people we serve. We’d love to talk if you’re looking for a role that supports your professional growth and connection to a vibrant community.

We are hiring for a nocturnist position. A nocturnist role requires working exclusively overnight shifts. Candidates must be comfortable with a nocturnal schedule and possess the ability to deliver exceptional patient care during nighttime hours.

Local Team Collaboration:

Join our hospital medicine team of 5 physicians and 4 advanced practice providers with the support of a clinical performance nurse at ProMedica Charles and Virginia Hickman Hospital.
Our hospital medicine team routinely participates in hospital committees, including the medical executive committee, quality care council, pharmacy and therapeutics, and infection prevention and control, among many other hospital groups and ad hoc committees.
Our hospitalists come from diverse backgrounds and enjoy activities like travel, hiking, hunting, and volunteering. We stay connected through informal team lunches at the hospital, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment.

Qualifications:

Acute care physician assistant; hospital medicine experience is strongly preferred.
Must be authorized to work in the United States.

Scheduling:

Our day team comprises 2 physicians, 1 ICU hospitalist, one non-ICU hospitalist, and an advanced practice provider. An advanced practice provider manages our nocturnist service, and telemedicine is a backup for managing the intensive care unit.
We have team meetings usually once a month, but we also have informal/impromptu meetings to discuss urgent issues and have real-time solutions to problems.
We value family and the outdoors, so we maintain flexible schedules and cover for one another.

Key Responsibilities:

We welcome the challenge of complex cases, working in a 9-bed open ICU. Our ICU-capable physician performs procedures during the day and is the backup for the night.

Hear from our team

“Our advanced practice providers work in a team-based care model alongside their physician colleagues. They're driving the care for their patients, but at the same time, they have that physician collaborator there. If they have a question, if they need another set of eyes on the patient, the physician is there to do that. This provides our advanced practice providers with the support needed to practice at the top of their license.”

April Burke,
Chief Advanced Practice Officer
