RESULT:
YOUR OPHTHALMOLOGY CAREER

Work schedules depend on the type of role and if you work at a medical practice or ambulatory surgery center. Our business unit leaders work with each employee to make sure their schedule works for their personal life while fulfilling the needs of the business.

Generally, our ophthalmology practices are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Hours at our ambulatory surgery centers depend on the unique needs of that particular business unit. For example, there may be a surgery scheduled for 7 a.m. that will require the team to arrive early. 

VIP Management Services Organization supports our business unit leaders and makes sure they have the tools they need to support their teams and physicians. We look for opportunities to make business operations work smoother and flow better

We value our team members and families, so ensuring they have what they need to be successful and healthy is a priority to us—and this includes a good balance between home life and work. We strive to create a family atmosphere in our practices and surgery centers while making sure our team members have ample time to be connected with their own families.

While the exact members on your team will depend on the type of role and if it is an ophthalmology practice or surgery center, you’ll still find your team is made up of a supportive group of like-minded individuals who are all working toward a common goal. We also have a mix of team members with plenty of healthcare experience and those without healthcare experience.

No matter what position or location our employees are in, they still have an impact on the business. We listen to our employees and regularly seek feedback on how they’re liking their job and the company as a whole.

Our employees’ voices matter. At VIP, you’re not just a number—you’re a part of our family. You have plenty of opportunities here, whether you’re looking for a small team, fast career advancement, or a different role that requires different things from you. You have a voice and a place here.

A positive mindset and willingness to learn and communicate are very important. At VIP, you’ll get to know everyone in each position, including business unit leaders and administrators, so you have to be willing to communicate and step outside of your comfort zone.

Not having experience in ophthalmology isn’t a bad thing! We have many different types of roles available. Some important things we look for are a positive mentality, outlook, and attitude. The amount of experience you have is specific to the role you’re applying for, but a willingness to learn and work with others and a positive attitude are important no matter what your role is.
