To prospective teammates,

About

I’m the medical director for Cleveland Clinic Union Hospital, located in Dover, Ohio. I have been a part of Sound Physicians for one year. I’m proud of the hospitalist practice we have built and welcome interest from physicians coming out of training or desiring a career change. I’d like to share more about it, specifically about our people, practice, and purpose, as you consider options:

• Our group comes from worldwide, including the USA, Canada, Pakistan, and South America.
• We are directly involved in many committees, including sepsis, code blue, stroke, etc. We work closely with nurses for our specialized Plan Of Care visits. We have daily multidisciplinary rounds with case managers, nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists, and pharmacy.
