MediMike Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I'm splitting time between two positions at the moment and will likely not renew the contract at one. Just saw a locums position pop open for a position at an LTAC specializing in vent weaning. Anyone have experience working in such a creature?

UGoLong Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I round as a cardiology PA in LTACs. They usually have a pulm/critical care service rounding as well (along with hospitals, surgeons, ID, and nephrology.) A fair number of patients have trachs and there are, of course, respiratory techs on staff who manage the day-to-day. It sounds like the position they are advertising is like our pulm/critical care staff, who supervise what the RTs are doing. Could be an interesting job. The LTACs themselves have quite a mix of patients and fill the gap between acute care and going to an ECF or a rehab site. Often if is for patients where things went a little off kilter in acute care; some can be quite complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druglife Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Hey Mike, just wanted to follow up to see if you pursued this opportunity? I am currently staffing as a pharmacist in an LTACH while in PA school. The providers (at least the consultants) seem really happy with the work here.

Hey there- I actually got picked up FT with the pulm/crit group I was per diem with so I never ended up pursuing it. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
