Febrifuge Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Anyone here working in a clinic that is located within a large corporate campus? My health system has an opening at one such clinic; it services a local company's campus where a few hundred people work; their families are also eligible for care. It's a little like being the PCP for a small town, or being the ship's surgeon (if you imagine the corporate campus is a spaceship... which I probably would, if I worked in such a place). From time to time, I see clinic notes from these outfits. They're part of the same clinic system that my Urgent Care is, owned and operated by us, just located in the client company's building. There seem to be a lot of similarities. Walk-in basis, never quite sure what you'll see next. This would be more primary care too, but since half the people I see need primary care more than they need the UC, that's not such a big change. Presumably, there would also be some lunchtime presentations to do about wellness topics, and the occasional health fair to help put together, but it seems like it could be fun. Who's had a job like this? Is this something weird and midwestern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbrothers98 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I dont work in one of these clinics but I know a colleague that does. I think it is turning out to be the best move for her. Prior she was a hospitalist. Better hours, less stress. I think you should also expect a bunch of occ health mixed in too. Your pt population will likely be rather motivated. Many of these clinics serve the corporation as a onsite motivator for health behaviors, tie insurance premiums and also some health associated bonuses to the clinic and measures such as wt, bp, etc. I am in New England so definitely not a midwest thing. Good luck G Brothers PA-C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febrifuge Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thanks! Yeah, my current SP is in charge of both Urgent Care and occ health. It sounds like the occ health higher-up has a certain amount of oversight of the onsite clinics, too. It might be interesting, to get a little continuity and yet not have to do all the Primary Care stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator EMEDPA Posted September 23, 2014 Moderator Share Posted September 23, 2014 I try to stay as far from occmed as possible. not a big fan of the 5 min visit followed by 20 min of paperwork as you rewrite the chart in triplicate on different sets of forms that all basically say "superficial R hand abrasion, cleaned, bandaid applied", tdap updated, return to full duty".

Febrifuge Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 if i could work at Google, I'd be sooo happy For me, it would be BioWare, but Canada gets in the way of my pipe dream. I'm going to be getting more info, see what's involved. The hours I work in UC are not that many, but it seems like I never ever leave on time, and that's getting to be a drag.
