Our client has an immediate need for a weekend locums Hospitalist provider for their opportunity starting ASAP in northeastern Louisiana. Candidate for this job must be BC/BE - IM and if the physician has the ability to perform ICU procedures, that would be great, but not required. There is much flexibility with this opportunity regarding the hours for which the locums provider would need to be on-site within the facility and the rest of the time he would be available via beeper. The locums provider would almost never need to return to the facility - all calls may actually be handled by phone. Patient census is around 15, rarely higher than that. Single coverage on the floor and minimal sub-specialty support is available, but trauma and heart patients are sent out to nearby facilities. Credentialing can be completed within two weeks and the need is urgent, so please call us and we'll get to work on your behalf right away.
