WHO WE ARE

We are VITAS Healthcare, the nation s leading end-of-life care provider since 1978.

WHAT YOU LL DO

As a home care hospice physician, you will use your compassion, communication skills and deep expertise to build meaningful relationships with patients and families, providing the highest-quality care at the most challenging point in life.

With your strong sense of commitment, you will advocate for your patients, discussing goals for their care while addressing their hopes and fears.

WHERE YOU LL WORK

Each day is different. You will spend most of your time caring for hospice patients and families wherever they call home, whether that means a private residence or an assisted living/skilled nursing facility.

Once a week, you ll visit your local program office to discuss cases with members of your interdisciplinary team, including social workers, chaplains, and nurses. All of these roles collaborate to provide holistic support for the patients and families we serve.

WHAT S EXPECTED FROM YOU

VITAS physicians must be licensed to practice medicine or osteopathy in the state in which their program operates. In addition to being board-certified or board-eligible in hospice and palliative medicine, internal medicine, family practice, or a related specialty, you should be familiar with the principles of hospice and registered with the DEA.

You ll also have the traits that make the VITAS Difference: Commitment, Compassion, and a Can-do Attitude.

You will keep patient welfare at the center of everything you do, giving your best each day in service of our core commitment: Extending comfort and dignity to all people at the end of their life s journey.
