Job Duties:

Geisinger Medical Center known for its commitment to patient-centered care and clinical excellence, provides an environment that encourages ongoing professional growth. As a inpatient geriatrics physician, you'll have access to advanced medical technology and resources, allowing you to deliver the highest quality to your patients. Your contributions will extend beyond direct patient care, as you may also have opportunities for research, teaching, and quality improvement initiatives.

North central Pennsylvania has an increasing population of individuals 65 years of age and older. Moreover, this population has an increased burden of chronic disease as well as social isolation. Most counties in the service area of Geisinger Medical Center are above the "PA Living Alone Benchmark" as well as the "PA Chronic Condition Benchmark". This can lead to increased rates of hospitalization and risk of poor outcomes during and after hospital admissions. A specialist in geriatrics to assist in the care and outcomes of hospitalized patients can positively impact inpatient length of stay, medication reconciliation, quality & safety outcomes, and readmissions.

Position Summary
  • Interviews patients to obtain information such as symptoms, medical histories, social history, and family histories. Performs and/or interprets diagnostic tests as needed.
  • Collaborate with inpatient medicine and surgical teams in order to provide safe, quality and efficient care for geriatric patients in the inpatient environment.
  • Provide specialized geriatic medical consultation for perioperative surgical patients: this may include medication reconciliation, daily consultation, assistance with disposition planning and family engagement.
  • Develop protocols specific to geriatric populations in order to improve clinical and patient experience outcomes for geriatric patients in the Central Region.
  • Educate clinical staff (nurses, social workers, care managers, advanced practitioners and physicians) on a recurring basis about specific challenges associated with the care of inpatients of advanced age.
  • Facilitate educational activities in geriatrics for learners including medical and advanced practitioner students, residents and fellows.
  • Diagnose and design a plan of treatment for injuries and/or illness. May prescribe or administer medications. Prepares, maintains, and reviews records that include patients' histories, examination findings, treatment plans, or outcomes.
  • Work is typically performed in a clinical and office environment. Accountable for satisfying all job specific obligations and complying with all organization policies and procedures. The specific statements in this profile are not intended to be all-inclusive. They represent typical elements considered necessary to successfully perform the job. Additional competencies outlined in any department-specific orientation will be considered essential to the performance of the job related to that position.
We take pride in the support we provide our physicians to promote a healthy work/life balance:
  • A newly revised and highly competitive compensation and benefits plan, including competitive salaries.
  • Excellent benefit package, including Malpractice & Tail coverage, sign on bonuses, and Medical School Loan Repayment
  • Full relocation reimbursement
  • Opportunities to participate in teaching and research studies
  • Fully integrated electronic health record (Epic)
  • Professional opportunities for mentorship, growth and advancement
