The job is at a multi-specialty group called SouthCoast Medical Group. Though my position is in one of their subsidiaries- Savannah Infectious Disease. It is a little practice within the bigger multi-specialty group. There are 2 ID physicians there now that I will join. They are busy, too busy for 2 people. So I will come in and lighten the load a bit and hopefully grow the business a little bit too. I will be spending most of my time doing hospital consults (seeing patients in the hospital and giving advise about their antibiotics or infection management). I'll have clinic hours in our office 2 half days per week. Sounds pretty boring so far but there are some perks too. They just started an antibiotic stewardship program which the practice is part of and there are medical residents and medical students that rotate with us. So I get to teach residents/students and get to help guide antibiotic use within the hospitals.
The next few months will be be busy. I finish fellowship at end of June. In the time between now and then we have to sell our house (hopefully!) in Winston Salem and buy one in Savannah. I also have to get a Georgia medical license, get credentialed at the hospitals there and get signed up with all the insurance companies that SouthCoast accepts. Step one is to get our little house ready for sale. We've already started. The is a POD outside of our house- we are decluttering. We are planning a garage sale for a couple weeks from now. I have replaced all the vinyl tile in the bathrooms, we are repainting the living room and kitchen and toughing up the rest of the house. Lots to do! Let the list making begin!
There is a lot to do but also a lot to look forward to. I finally get to practice independently and I'm going to work with some really great people. House hunting will be fun! We'll be able to afford a bigger house (so come visit!). We're going to settle into a really neat community.
Ok, I have rambled enough. Here's a few pictures of Lily. :)
