Even when starting out, your surgical volume picks up very quickly. Referral Base: Ophthalmologists at Kaiser Permanente have a built-in referral base including a large number of optometrists.This provides you with the rare capability of obtaining information from any medical specialty 24-7. They also provide each physician with a cell phone equipped with a secure texting application, which includes the contact information for all Kaiser Permanente physicians in your location. Access to Other Medical Specialists: Kaiser Permanente has a vast number of physicians ranging all aspects of medicine.Similarly, in clinic if you have a patient with unclear pathology, you can easily enlist a subspecialist for a second opinion. That way, if the lens drops, the case can be completed with an assist from my retina colleagues without a second surgery. As an example, if I have a severely subluxed lens that I’m worried may go south, I can set the case up in the evening or on a day when my retina friends are operating in the O.R. Difficult or unique cases can be scheduled with another surgeon or you can have another subspecialist available to come assist in desired situations. Mentorship and Partnership: Working with a large group of ophthalmologists with varying backgrounds and experience levels offers the unique opportunity to learn different techniques after completing training.I’m able to work full-time while still having plenty of time to spend with my family. As a mother of a small child, this was very important to me.
There is an ophthalmologist on call 24-7 to cover emergency patients as well as any of your personal patients when you are off or in the operating room. This schedule varies between different Kaiser Permanente locations however, my hours tend to be 8:30-5 Monday through Friday. Schedule/Lifestyle: A large group practice allows for a very regular schedule.
