Role and Purpose

The hospitalist manages adult inpatient care at a community hospital that serves as a regional referral point for northern Wyoming.

Hospitalists admit and round on their own patients and call in surgeons or subspecialists when a case requires it.

  • Adult inpatient medicine across the medical and surgical floors
  • Admissions split by shift, with morning and afternoon admitting roles
  • Direct admitting to an open ICU
  • Support for hospital code response
  • Optional, minimal teaching exposure through the WWAMI medical student program

Practice Setting

  • Independent, community-based nonprofit hospital
  • Named a Top 20 Rural and Community Hospital in 2026 by the NRHA
  • More than 800 employees and 100+ providers across 25+ specialties
  • Level III trauma designation
  • Epic EMR throughout the system

Schedule

The schedule is shift-based and flexible, with block arrangements available. There is no fixed monthly pattern; the schedule varies each month.

  • Required 12 shifts per month, typically averaging 10 to 14
  • Maximum of 18 shifts per month under hospital bylaws
  • Block scheduling available, for example 6 days on followed by 6 to 8 off
  • Shift length options of 12 or 24
  • Extra shifts available up to the 18-shift monthly cap
  • Night coverage shared across the group; the night physician takes call from home within 30 minutes and is not required onsite

Service Area

Sheridan Memorial serves Sheridan and the surrounding northern Wyoming region. The hospital manages the large majority of adult inpatient needs locally and refers select cases outward: complex pediatric patients to Billings, and pediatric cardiac and neurological cases to Denver Children's.
