About The Position

Berkshire Health Systems is seeking a Nocturnist Hospitalist Physician to provide overnight care to hospitalized patients at Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The full-time position offers 122 shifts annually, averaging approximately 10 shifts per month. Each shift is 11 hours, including 10 hours of clinical coverage and one dedicated administrative hour for charts and other documentation. The physician works with an experienced team of hospitalists, advanced practice providers, nurses, and other clinical professionals. Berkshire Medical Center has a closed ICU, allowing the Nocturnist team to focus on hospital medicine patients while collaborating with critical care clinicians when a higher level of care is needed.

Berkshire Medical Center is the flagship hospital of Berkshire Health Systems and provides comprehensive healthcare services to Berkshire County and the surrounding region. The position is based in the Berkshires, an area offering mountain and lake recreation, arts and cultural activities, and access to Albany, Boston, and New York City.
