Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, typically with 1 weekend day in-house while on service.
The physician will provide comprehensive inpatient care for hospitalized Veterans 18 and older, including admission, evaluation, management, and discharge, ensuring safe and efficient transitions of care.
