Job Description & Requirements

Hospitalist - Physician - (Hospital Medicine) Locum Tenens

Hospital located in southwest West Virginia seeking Hospitalist who can provide ongoing coverage starting in April. Patient volume is 18-20 per hour. The shifts are 12 hours and no procedure or ICU rounding required.

A hospitalist (locum tenens) is a physician that is generally Internal Medicine residency trained but can be from Family Medicine or other sub-specialty programs. They specialize in the care of patients who have been admitted into a hospital. These general medicine professionals perform a variety of roles in the hospital and, accordingly, must be familiar with the entirety of human physiology and a wide range of illnesses and medical conditions. Hospitalists complete residencies in internal medicine, much like primary care physicians. When patients arrive to the hospital, a hospitalist will take care of them, prescribing treatment as needed, before referring them to a specialist or discharging them from the facility.
