Pros
Sound Critical Care recruits those truly dedicated to the practice of Critical Care Medicine. Our group is made up of a variety of physicians and APPs with wide backgrounds and specialties (anesthesia, internal medicine, pulmonary, research, etc.), creating a team environment where we can all lend our own expertise to collaborate, especially important in challenging cases or in times of stress. Our schedules are flexible and it is easy to switch shifts with other team members as needed. Plenty of opportunities for teaching, advancement and leadership growth if desired. Overall, a great place to work.
Cons
Work/life balance is really dependent on your shift count and how efficient you are as a worker. You can choose to work extra shifts per month, but you’ll be at high risk of burnout, as expected from working in an ICU environment. Our team is working on it, but our census can also run very high, leading to long days.
