Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant (Swing) – Brockton, MA - Sound Physicians

To potential colleagues,

I am the hospitalist medical director for Sound Physicians, overseeing the dedicated hospitalist team at Brockton Hospital in Brockton, Massachusetts, just an hour drive from Boston. I extend a warm welcome to advanced practice providers (APPs) seeking a change.

I’d like to provide you with deeper insight into who we are and what we do, focusing on our people, practice, and purpose as you contemplate your options:

People

• Brockton Hospital was closed for a little more than a year due to a fire and was able to partially reopen in August 2024.
• We are in the rebuilding phase and when fully staffed, our team will be comprised of ten physicians and twelve advanced practice providers (APPs). Together, they will collaborate with other hospital staff and departments to ensure the highest quality of patient care.
• We’re fortunate to have a dedicated site coordinator assigned to this team who will help maintain a healthy work-life balance.
• Our clinical performance nurse will assist in delivering an exceptional patient care experience.
• Located in Brockton, we enjoy the vibrancy of a history rich area with excellent schools, cultural activities, sporting events, shopping and more! Our strategic location places us between Boston and Providence, with Massachusetts shorelines just a short drive away.

Practice

• The hospital has a closed ICU with intensivists on hand 24/7. We are looking for BC nurse practitioners and physician assistants with 1 or more years of hospitalist experience.
• As a swing clinician, your responsibilities will encompass admissions from the ED. Your hours will be 9 am to 9 pm and your schedule will be 7 days on and 7 days off.
• Our team will connect frequently over lunch to address concerns and receive updates on Sound and hospital matters.
• We use Meditech and have access to our own internal informatics platform.
• Our comprehensive benefits package includes medical, dental, vision, life and AD&D insurance, long- and short-term disability, 401k with a match, paid medical malpractice and tail coverage, and an annual CME allowance. Additionally, we offer a Path to Partnership track for securing your future.

Purpose

• Our unwavering commitment is to put patients first, always.
• I chose Sound because hospitalist medicine is at our core, and the organization has established effective processes for better patient care. I remain with Sound because the medical group has allowed me to create an environment in which clinicians find the practice of medicine enjoyable again.
• We highly value and support growth and development within our hospital medicine practice, offering opportunities for exploration at the local level and within the broader medical group.
• One of the ways Brockton Hospital is committed to keeping their community healthy is by offering free Zumba classes remotely once a week.

If you’d like to explore this opportunity further, please reach out to my recruiting partner, Jill Albach, who will help connect us.
