About The Position

Sanford Health is one of the largest and fastest-growing not-for-profit health systems in the United States. We’re proud to offer many development and advancement opportunities to our nearly 50,000 members of the Sanford Family who are dedicated to the work of health and healing across our broad footprint. We’re looking for positive, compassionate, hardworking team members who provide the high-quality care patients and families have come to expect from us. In our fast-paced work environment, team members who thrive are adaptable, great communicators, detail-oriented, and have excellent time management skills.

Standard operating hours for this location are Monday-Friday from 0630-1700. This position does include late shifts and rotating call. Call shifts will be for Orthopedic trauma for after hour cases at the level 1 Trauma Center, Sanford Medical Center Fargo. This is considered as off-site Call, where you do not stay in the hospital but need to be available within 30 minutes of being contacted for an Orthopedic Trauma. This role includes a rotating weekday and weekend call schedule. Currently, this works out to about two weekday call shifts per month, around three weekends of call per year, and one holiday shift annually (though this may change over time). One of the great perks of working at this campus is our post-call shift. After a call shift, you get the choice to determine the work/life balance you need; giving you the option to wait to come into work until 1100. This give you the choice to rest/recharge or work your standard shift— helping you maintain a healthy work balance. New grads encouraged to apply! Sign on bonus available!
