A hospital in Columbia, South Carolina is seeking a Pediatric Gastroenterologist for weekend coverage beginning in October 2026 and continuing through September 2027.

We are willing to license the right physician for this assignment. Compensation is negotiable, and I am open to discussing the rate you would need to make this schedule worthwhile. Travel, lodging, and rental-car arrangements are also available.

Even if you cannot provide weekly coverage, I would still like to learn what frequency and structure could work for you. My job is to understand what matters to you and filter assignments accordingly, rather than asking you to sort through jobs that were never a fit.

Please apply or contact Josh Turner with Aya Locums to discuss your availability, rate requirements, and ideal locums arrangement.
