Offers of employment at Conway Physicians Group (CPG) are for a primary work location (typically one medical practice) and they will work at that location the vast majority of the time. However, all CPG staff function as one larger team when needed. In order to ensure patients, receive consistent care with little disruption, employees are required and must be positively willing to “float” to assist at any CPG location as a condition of accepting employment with CPG. This may include any support function and across any case load including work assignments at other offices that may not be the normal primary work location. When “floating” occurs, staff may request reimbursement for mileage expense for travel that otherwise would not have occurred to and from the primary location. Additionally, it is understood that staff may float to secondary work locations where they aren’t familiar with staff, physician preferences and the physical work location. Thus, an orientation to the secondary location will occur and staff reserve the authority to professionally, temporarily and without recourse decline a task for which they feel they aren’t adequately trained or competent to perform safely, until such time a staff member can conduct competency training and education.
All organization staff including this position are specifically required as a condition of continued employment to make advance preparations for their families and pets in the event of weather emergencies such as Hurricanes and flooding threats. Any staff member can be determined as essential staff required to report to the facility during these events. In many cases this means reporting and sleeping at the facility before, during and after a weather emergency. By signing this job description, the staff member accepts this responsibility of readiness to report to work during any designated emergency staffing situation. CMC staff members operate as one team meeting the healthcare needs of our communities, thus this position will on occasion complete other duties as assigned beyond those designated in this primary job description which may include “float” coverage at an alternate facility, department or assignment.
