I get periodic offers through a website called practicematch. They somehow found my beeper number a number of months ago and I took the time to answer a bunch of their questions regarding my desired practice location, hours, call preferences, salary, etc., and they try to match me with these types of opportunities.
Here's another one...though no mention of salary:
Canton-Potsdam Hospital
Address: 50 Leroy Street
Potsdam, NY 13676
Opportunity Criteria
Specialty: Psychiatry
Candidate Type: MD, DO
Visas Accepted: None
Canton - Potsdam Hospital
Canton-Potsdam Hospital provides the best of both worlds: we have the technology and staff expertise youd expect to find in a big city, yet we also have the work ethic, collegiality, and dedication to service that youd expect of a close-knit community like ours. With major educational institutions close by, our patients needs run the gamut from emergency care, to sports medicine, to maternity, to cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. We also see patients from outside our immediate vicinity: our chemical rehabilitation unit is the only hospital-based service in the upstate region, drawing patients from Albany, Buffalo, Binghamton, and points in-between.
Canton-Potsdam Hospital recently underwent a major construction and renovation project and customer service initiative. We now offer state-of-the-art operating suites, new maternity options like hydro-birthing, a fully automated laboratory, and an attractive, efficient ambulatory surgery unit. In addition, our links with community health organizations, and Fletcher-Allen Health Careone of the premier teaching hospitals in the regiongive you and your patients access to expanded options for professional growth and outstanding medical care.
Canton-Potsdam Hospital fosters excellence in the practice of medicine. I hope you will consider joining our medical staff and helping to improve the health and well being of our community.
