GI Hospitalist | 100% Inpatient | No Clinic | Flexible Block Scheduling | Exceptional Work-Life Balance
St. Bernards Healthcare | Jonesboro, Arkansas
St. Bernards Healthcare is seeking a Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Gastroenterologist to join our growing Gastroenterology program as a GI Hospitalist in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a Gastroenterologist who enjoys the acuity and variety of inpatient medicine but wants the freedom of a hospitalist-style schedule. Focus your practice entirely on **inpatient Gastroenterology and procedures—with no outpatient clinic responsibilities—**while working alongside an established team of experienced Gastroenterologists within a 457-bed regional referral center.
St. Bernards serves a regional population of more than 700,000 throughout Northeast Arkansas and Southeast Missouri, providing a strong and consistent inpatient GI volume supported by an extensive primary care and specialty referral network.
Why Consider Our GI Hospitalist Opportunity?
Our flexible block scheduling model allows us to work with the right physician to develop a schedule that meets both individual lifestyle goals and the needs of our growing GI program. Rather than requiring one rigid scheduling model, we are open to discussing different block structures and finding an arrangement that works.
Spend your scheduled time focused on inpatient consults, procedures, and hospitalized patients—with no outpatient clinic or patient panel to maintain. When your block is complete, your time is truly your own.
This is an opportunity to practice high-level Gastroenterology while gaining something increasingly difficult to find in a traditional GI practice: predictable, meaningful time away from work.
For physicians interested in teaching, optional opportunities are available to participate in the education and mentorship of Internal Medicine residents, Family Medicine residents, and medical students.
Home to a thriving Division I university, Jonesboro combines the amenities of a growing regional community with the affordability and convenience of a family-friendly city.
And with Memphis just approximately one hour away, you'll have convenient access to an international airport, professional sports, concerts, dining, and entertainment—without the cost and congestion of living in a major metropolitan area.
Join an established Gastroenterology program with the volume, technology, clinical support, and regional referral network already in place.
