VA Northern California Health Care System is looking for Family or Internal Medicine trained physicians to work in our Sacramento, California facilities as new members of our Clinical Deployment Team (CDT) program, an exciting new initiative which provides VHA with highly trained clinical staff ready to respond during emergent times. CDTs provide permanent, clinical staff dedicated to the continuity of Veteran healthcare and support to communities in times of crisis. These staff will be highly skilled, trained in emergency response, and deployment ready. These additional CDT staff will complement the current Disaster Emergency Medical Personnel System (DEMPS) program, creating robust response capabilities to ensure continued readiness for our Veterans and those who care for them. Members of the team must:
- Be available to deploy with 72 hours' notice within 2 windows of time per calendar year, for up to a month at a time
- Work in a high-stress environment, possibly in austere conditions or an emergency setting
- Treat or provide direct patient care within the requirements of practice/privileges/licensure
- Participate in CDT training activities and demonstrate readiness to apply professional skills to a range of emergency situations
- Ensure qualifications and required certifications are maintained, including Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), or Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) certification
- Maintain CDT physical readiness requirements, vaccinations, and safety precautions related to infection control
When not deployed, the CDT provider will work at an assigned VA facility providing support to primary care teams in-person and by virtual means. Efforts will support Patient Aligned Care Teams operating on a 'medical home' model stressing wellness/prevention, care coordination, chronic disease and population health management. CDT providers will be expected to establish NEW patients and assist with management of established patients, support same day care needs, and work asynchronously with clinic staff to provide treatment and care coordination.
