The OHSU Division of Hospital Medicine’s mission is “To serve, connect, and educate in order to heal, comfort, and empower” and we are seeking others who share these values to join our team in the Preoperative Medicine Clinic.

The PMC physician performs preoperative risk assessment on pre- surgical patients by obtaining an H&P and ordering appropriate diagnostic studies and laboratory tests. They will collaborate with other members of the team regarding pre-op instructions, medication management, and patient education.

 

The physician is expected to function independently but also work in close collaboration with providers from other departments (cardiology, anesthesiology, internal medicine, etc.) to coordinate medical optimization of the patient prior to surgery. This includes but is not limited to following up on lab tests, cardiac testing, referrals to other specialties and documenting plan of care in EMR. Physicians also communicates with the surgical team (surgeons, surgery schedulers) when necessary to share concerns about patient readiness for scheduled surgeries. Timely, focused documentation with the referring surgeon, PCP and anesthesiologist when appropriate to ensure quality patient care. 

 

The faculty member will be expected to participate in continuing education, professional and faculty development and scholarship as directed by his/her department.
