Nephrologist

Job Summary And Responsibilities

As our Nephrologist, this is an exceptional opportunity to join a vital and expanding team at Virginia Mason Franciscan Health. You'll be part of a collaborative and supportive group in Seattle at Virgina Mason Medical Center, serving our downtown medical center and regional clinics, all dedicated to providing high-quality, patient-centered care.

Every day, you will apply your comprehensive expertise to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of kidney conditions. This involves patient consultations, developing treatment plans, including managing dialysis and transplant patients, and focusing on preventive care and health education, all within a collaborative healthcare team. You'll work closely with leadership and colleagues who value compassion, integrity, excellence, inclusion, and collaboration.

• Provide comprehensive general nephrology care to a diverse patient population in both outpatient clinics and through an inpatient consultative service.
• Manage a busy inpatient service primarily at Virginia Mason Medical Center, a destination center for advanced cardiac services and home to a Kidney and Pancreas Transplant Program.
• Collaborate effectively with a multidisciplinary team, including other nephrologists, allied health professionals, medical assistants, and clinical support staff, to optimize patient outcomes.
• Engage in learning opportunities, including continuing medical education, teaching, and professional growth, with leadership prospects based on your skills and interests.
• Maintain thorough and accurate patient records. (While EPIC isn't explicitly mentioned for Nephrology, it's standard at VMFH, so I'll keep it general unless you specify.)
• Work within a team that prioritizes physician wellness and values the engagement of both staff and patients.
• Contribute to our mission of improving the health and wellbeing of our patients, focusing on quality outcomes and innovative care delivery models.
• Compensation ranges from $340,000 - $400,000/year.

We are offering a competitive compensation model that incentivizes clinical productivity, teamwork, and the highest quality care. This position has an attractive benefits package including medical malpractice coverage and a commitment to work-life integration.

While your clinical home will be at Virginia Mason Medical Center in downtown Seattle, you'll find an abundance of residential choices at your fingertips. Live in sophisticated urban high-rises just steps from work, or explore charming, distinct neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, or West Seattle, all within an easy commute to our central campus.
