Physician - Palliative Care - Royal Oak, MI
Join to apply for the Physician - Palliative Care - Royal Oak, MI role at Corewell Health.
Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital is seeking a full‑time BE/BC Palliative Care physician. The inpatient Corewell Health Palliative Care team is seeking a compassionate Physician to join them, splitting their time equally between providing consults to adult patients who present to the Emergency Department and providing Palliative Care to patients in the inpatient setting.
Corewell Health emergency departments experience high volumes of patients with serious illnesses who require complex symptom management and end‑of‑life care discussions, often leading to prolonged ED stays, suboptimal patient experiences, undesired and inappropriate hospital admissions, high cost of care, reduced patient and provider satisfaction and overall reduced quality of care.
As a Hospice & Palliative Care physician who partners with the ED you will work with our interdisciplinary team by approaching patients to provide health literacy, ascertain goals and then collaborate to find an appropriate disposition. The ED embedded Palliative Care team can manage symptoms, facilitate goals‑of‑care discussions, and coordinate with other healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes, reduce hospital admissions, and enhance overall patient and family and provider satisfaction.
In this role, you will also spend time providing consultative care to inpatients. This will be a continuation of foundation established in the ED as well as new patients not previously seen. You will be working collaboratively with other interdisciplinary members including physicians, APP’s, a social worker and a chaplain.
Qualities needed for this role are compassion, flexibility, and a true desire to help your patients.
