<p>A well-established emergency medicine group in El Paso, Texas is recruiting a board-certified or board-eligible Emergency Medicine physician to join its Level III emergency department on a 1099 independent contractor basis. The 30-bed ED runs approximately 27,500 patient visits annually at an efficient throughput of 1.9 patients per hour — a volume that supports strong earnings without the chaos of a high-acuity trauma center.
