Career Story:
I have worked in the same practice for the whole 9 years since I left residency. About 30% of my patients are Spanish speaking. I see 25 or so patients per day and work 4 days per week. I go to the hospital only for newborn baby care. I work for Intermountain Healthcare which is an integrated healthcare delivery system touted for keeping costs down. There are currently 6 other physicians in my practice. I take home call once every six weeks.
