Job at a glance
Job description
The Opportunity
PRN hospitalist days at a 139-bed Prime Healthcare hospital on the St. Clair River. APP support on the floor, an open ICU of roughly four patients with 24/7 tele-intensivist backup, and Epic throughout. A department small enough to learn in one shift and stable enough that the next one feels familiar.
What You'll Own
- Day rounding with APP support.
- A small open ICU with 24/7 tele-intensivist coverage behind you.
- A predictable census in a department you can pick up cold.
- Epic, so the chart is one you likely already know.
Must-Haves
- MD or DO
- Board certified or board eligible in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine
- Michigan license, or eligibility in process
Nice to Have
- Existing Michigan license — faster to credentialing
- Availability for recurring blocks
- Epic familiarity
What Working Here Is Actually Like
- $160 per hour.
- Malpractice and tail both covered. Tail is the one people forget to ask about until they leave.
- Epic.
- Credentialing handled by a team that does this constantly.
- No minimum annual commitment.
- Physician-owned and physician-managed since 2012. When you escalate a problem, it reaches a physician who still works clinical shifts.
- Licensure is faster than you expect if you're coming from out of state. Michigan participates in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, so if you already hold a qualifying license elsewhere, adding this one typically runs one to three weeks rather than months.
Straight Talk
The PRN line is day coverage without the 1-in-3 call that sits on the salaried position — a meaningful difference if call is what has been putting you off hospitalist work.
