Description:
Gastroenterologist
A board certified/eligible
gastroenterologist is needed to join the Gastroenterology
Department at Franciscan Skemp Healthcare, part of
Mayo Health System, in La Crosse, WI, which currently
includes three gastroenterologists, a nurse practitioner
and a physician assistant. A gastroenterologist from
Mayo-Rochester (current Chair of the GI Department)
also sees patients at Franciscan Skemp two days a week.
Our open position is due to the January 2008 retirement
of one of our GI physicians. This is a general Gastroenterology
practice, including the opportunity to do a variety
of procedures. An interest in ERCP is welcome. Call
will be shared equally among the GI physicians (1:4).
Referrals come from within Franciscan Skemp Healthcare-Mayo
Health System, a multi-specialty group/healthcare network
with 200+ physicians/associate providers, including
clinics at 12 locations, serving a primary care population
base of 240,000 in west-central WI, southeast MN and
northeast IA. Patient referrals also come from non-affiliated
providers within a 60-mile radius of La Crosse, WI.
For those interested in teaching, our staff physicians
have the opportunity to be involved with the La Crosse-Mayo
Family Medicine Residency Program.
A new state-of-the-art
GI Endoscopy Suite, using the Mayo Clinic model, including
ERCP capability and a dedicated esophageal motility
room, was completed October 2006. The Endoscopy Unit
is immediately adjacent to the GI Clinic, located in
Franciscan Skemp Healthcare's main medical facilities
in La Crosse. Franciscan Skemp Medical Center has 250
beds, Emergency Medical & Trauma Center (Level
III) with 24 hour staffing by Emergency Medicine physicians,
16-bed combined medical-surgical ICU/CCU, 24-hour Hospitalist
Program and cardiac cath lab. Our Center for Advanced
Medicine and Surgery (CAMS Building) includes Day Surgery/OR
suites and a comprehensive Cancer Center, including
chemotherapy and radiation oncology. Sophisticated
diagnostic laboratory and radiology services are available
on site.
