Sound Physicians Review

Physician assistant, pa-c

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Having worked for several companies in my years in the APP field, I am most impressed with Sounds willingness to work with the APP's and really encourage them to expand their knowledge, push the boundaries (safely) of our abilities and recognize that we are important members of the care provider team. I feel as though I am treated as an equal and my physician colleagues recognize that we (APPS) are teachable, excited to learn and grow within this field. I genuinely feel like a true partner when sitting with my physician colleagues.

Cons

I am most disappointed in their retirement plan for their employees.

Pros

Sound Critical Care recruits those truly dedicated to the practice of Critical Care Medicine. Our group is made up of a variety of physicians and APPs with wide backgrounds and specialties (anesthesia, internal medicine, pulmonary, research, etc.), creating a team environment where we can all lend our own expertise to collaborate, especially important in challenging cases or in times of stress. Our schedules are flexible and it is easy to switch shifts with other team members as needed. Plenty of opportunities for teaching, advancement and leadership growth if desired. Overall, a great place to work.

Cons

Work/life balance is really dependent on your shift count and how efficient you are as a worker. You can choose to work extra shifts per month, but you’ll be at high risk of burnout, as expected from working in an ICU environment. Our team is working on it, but our census can also run very high, leading to long days.
