Seattle/Tacoma Anesthesia Jobs

[Lochmoor]

I am just starting a preliminary job search in the Seattle/Tacoma area. I am 10 years out of training with pedi fellowship, looking for a pedi anesthesia job or mixed adult/pediatric position.

Does anyone more local to the area have any input on good groups to work for? Specifically, I am wondering if anyone has any information about TAA—Tacoma Anesthesia Associates.

Thanks

They all suck!

can you provide any details? help us all out here...

St Michaels Silverdale/Bremerton is looking. Geographically close to Seattle but quite distant to commute and socially/culturally.
Make sure it’s right for you as there are no commutable options if things don’t work out!

Sent a DM. South Sound is a great place to work and live. I'm born and raised in Seattle. I really do love Seattle but to me Seattle is perpetually congested, not my cup of tea, definitely not for everyone. Just unreasonable amounts of traffic and homelessness.

Fake news that they all suck. I can confirm this is not the case.

I did the reverse commute to Tacoma from Seattle, which was tolerable. 35-50 minutes each way, but would not do it again.
However, the locums at SJMC are getting 375-400/hr and you can really just rake it in by going full-time locums there.

Any word on Matrix at Overlake with the pending acquisition?

Wow, who's acquiring them? I always heard they were a great group, what happened?

By who?

Nvm: quick google shows it’s MultiCare

 

[slabb]

Overlake Medical Center is becoming part of MultiCare.
Matrix Anesthesia is remaining an independent group.

Sounds like a bad rate to work at the dump that is st joes

you get paid 400/hr for overnight call. so each call is paying you roughly 5k, plus the 4k of day work.
If you. can stomach being on call every other day and game the system a little bit, you can theroetically clear 35-40k per week, if you include weekend coverage. 2 weeks of that would give you 4 weeks of M-F no call locums jobs.

Is it a dump? How so?

Just what I’ve heard from other locums, that it’s an undesirable place to work and they can’t keep anyone. And that they cancel shifts with little notice.

In comparison, my overnight rate is higher at a place that is far easier.

Tacoma isn't Bellevue by any means so I'm sure some of that plays into what it's like to work at that facility but as said about if you can stomach it 400/hr isn't terrible.

You can get 400/hr in the area for easier daytime work. Why take it for harder nighttime call at a ****tier hospital?

because you are essentially getting it for another 12 hours while sleeping at home?

Level 2 trauma center call is that light there?

Most definitely not. But last I recall, they alternated trauma call with TG every other day.
But they have 3 on calls - OB, OR, OR2.
400/hr for OR2 is nice.

What are the rates for OB and OR1?

IDK, I dont work there anymore. It was 400/hr for each of the overnight calls last I recall.

Then OR2 in your own bed seems like the most desirable shift.
