Full Time

Baptist Health Fort Smith (BHFS) is recruiting a Gastroenterologist. There is currently only one employed Gastroenterologist at BHFS and the recruitment need is growth related. The existing physician is well established having been in the practice for 14 years. He is very busy and well respected by patients. There is also a PA working in the practice who sees patients in the hospital as well as hospital follow up appointments. The clinic practice is located on the BHFS campus. This is an employed opportunity with flexibility in the arrangement. There is the potential to join the existing physician or to establish a new practice and share call with the existing physician. Due to the fact that BHFS has only one Gastroenterologist there is significant opportunity for another physician to quickly build a busy practice.

Baptist Health Fort Smith is a 492-bed hospital complete with an emergency department, intensive care unit, outpatient imaging and surgery center. It offers a wide range of specialties including cardiology, neuro-interventional radiology, orthopedics, pediatrics and geriatric medicine. The facility is accredited by the Joint Commission and continues to earn recognition for exceptional stroke and heart care by national agencies. The system also includes a 103-bed hospital nearby in Van Buren and more than 40 clinic locations. Baptist Health employs nearly 100 providers in Western Arkansas and works closely with independent and contracted physicians in the community to provide quality care to its patients. Baptist Health-Fort Smith, formerly known as Sparks Regional Medical Center, was built in 1887 making it the state’s first hospital.

Located on the Arkansas River, Fort Smith is the third largest city in Arkansas and home to roughly 90,000 people. Fort Smith offers unique dining and shopping experiences, as well as access to some of the state’s richest history and art. The Fort Smith National Historic Site traces the town’s origins as a military post during the frontier era and along with several other historic sites and museums continues to draw guests from across the country.
