Travel Hospitalist – Casper, WY - Sound Physicians

Dear potential physician teammates,

I serve as the hospitalist program medical director for Sound Physicians’ practice at Banner Wyoming Medical Center in Casper, Wyoming. For the past three years, I’ve been a member of the Sound team and am excited to share information about our hospital medicine practice. We are seeking physicians who are either willing to move to Casper, Wyoming or are interested in traveling into Wyoming. If you’ve recently completed your training or are contemplating a career change, I invite you to explore our approach to people, practice, and purpose as you weigh your options.

 People

• We’re a cohesive team of 13 physicians, 4 advanced practice providers (APPs), and our clinical performance nurse, who offers invaluable support.
• Our team comprises clinicians from diverse geographic, educational, and training backgrounds. We foster a supportive and collaborative atmosphere, ensuring an environment where everyone can thrive personally and professionally.
• Beyond our professional bonds, we share a strong personal connection. We enjoy spending time together outside of work through quarterly dinners and happy hours.
• In our leisure time, we relish the abundance of outdoor activities that Wyoming offers, including mountain climbing, hiking, river floats, visits to national parks, and skiing[MT1] .

With direct flights from Casper’s regional airport to Denver and Salt Lake City, travel is convenient. We provide a flexible schedule to accommodate your travel needs and offer an increased shift rate to assist with covering travel expenses.

• For those inclined toward teaching, we have opportunities to work with medical students from the University of Washington.
• Regular quarterly team meetings and a monthly newsletter keep us informed and engaged. We also come together for Friday lunches to foster a learning culture.
• Our team motto is “happy providers with a manageable workload.” We prioritize work-life balance by offering a flexible schedule and one, two-week stint off each year for extended vacations. We understand that life can be unpredictable, and we’re here to support each other when needed.
• Benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, and AD&D insurance, long- and short-term disability coverage, a 401k plan with a matching component, paid medical malpractice insurance with tail coverage, and an annual CME allowance.

• Patients are at the core of everything we do, and their well-being is our top priority.
• Growth and development are hallmarks of Sound’s practices. Team members have opportunities for career advancement both locally and within our broader medical group.
