Immediate locum tenens Hospitalist job opportunity in Louisiana! This Hospitalist program is starting October 1, 2010 and is in need of locums coverage starting ASAP. The schedule is very flexible and they can accommodate any type of schedule - be it 7 on/7 off, weekends, or other types of blocked schedule. Days or nights are available (7a-7p or 7p-7a). During the day, the Hospitalist can expect to see a total of 18-20 patient encounters per day (admits, rounding, and consults) and nights will consist of 6-8 admits and dealing with any floor emergencies. No ICU procedures are required as there is ample IM sub-specialty support onsite 24/7. This need is expected to last for many months while they recruit for two more permanent physicians. Emergency privileges will be granted within a matter of days. Travel and lodging will be provided along with excellent pay!
