We do require that you join in on our Saturday rotation, which is approximately 1 shift per every 3-4 weeks. No Sunday hours, no emergency, and no holidays.

We are a busy hospital and almost always have a full day of patients. We prefer appointments but do see the occasional walk-in. With our patient volumes, a new doctor will easily be able to build their clientele.

About the area:

Our town is perfect for the outdoor enthusiast—perfectly set between two ski resorts, and only an hour away from Snowshoe Mountain (the premier ski resort in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic and an IMBA Bronze Mountain Biking Destination). Snowshoe Mountain was home to the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup Finals and it is right in our backyard. Elkins also offers a plethora of hiking, fishing, and camping. We are also surrounded by infinite biking possibilities boasting a variety of terrain.
