There are no strict hours for shifts, but the Hospitalists typically come in at 7am and work until they are finished with all the assigned patients. For a locums, this should take 12 hours, with a patient volume around 18 ppd, which includes the admissions. They are flexible about the physician schedule, but they would like the locums to work a 7on/7off schedule.
