Pros

There is some schedule flexibility.

Cons

UCHealth used to be a good place to work, but not anymore. It is the typical corporatization of healthcare, horrible bureaucracy, poor physician leadership etc Physicians have no autonomy at all. You are constantly told to work more and see more patients. It is all about RVUs and percentiles. There is no interest in quality of care. There is no interest in keeping their best doctors happy. It is all about UCHealth's expansion. They are obsessed in becoming the most dominant healthcare organization in Colorado and that at all costs. Physicians are obligated to see a lot of new patients, when they have no availability to see their established patients. It takes months for a patient to get in to see a specialist. When you try to refer patients outside UCHealth, so that they can get better care, the leadership pulls you in meetings and you get scolded. And did I mention that the physicians benefits are below average ? The sad part is that all the other big healthcare corporations in CO are the same or worst. Small private practices cannot survive financially and they are swallowed by these big corporations. Signing with them gives you the illusion of job stability, but they treat you like they own you. "Take it or leave it!" Sometimes it really feels like even the receptionists or the MAs are treated with more respect than their physicians. Are you a physician who envisions having some level of autonomy in the way you practice? Well, then this is not the job for you. Here you do what you are told. It is all about "the production". More recently, they started hiring lots of NPs and PAs, because they simply do not get enough MDs interested in their job positions. So my advice is to stay away from UCHealth and find yourself a job somewhere else.

Sometimes we did not have much contact with the heads of the volunteer program.

Pros

None that I can possibly share. This is by far the worst place I've ever worked for and I absolutely regret applying here. Save yourself, don't apply, don't stay long.

Cons

Revolving door in every department. HR is a disaster. People are underpaid and burned out. UCHealth spreads like a parasite in Colorado by purchasing hospitals, underpaying employees, and not competing with pricing. Worst yet, it does not pay taxes at Coloradan's expense. DORA and UCHealth are supported by the state and if you are discriminated you will find no justice. Absolute corruption. They need to be audited and penalized by the state more often for many reasons.
