Hospitalist - Physician - (Hospital Medicine) Locum Tenens - (Cortland, NY)

Hospital in upstate NY, three hours outside of NYC, is seeking a locum tenens hospitalist to help fill fifteen shifts per month, 7 am to 7pm. There are no procedures required. Please reach out to Staff Care if you are interested! A hospitalist (locum tenens) is a physician that is generally Internal Medicine residency trained but can be from Family Medicine or other sub-specialty programs. They specialize in the care of patients who have been admitted into a hospital. These general medicine professionals perform a variety of roles in the hospital and, accordingly, must be familiar with the entirety of human physiology and a broad range of illnesses and medical conditions. Hospitalists complete residencies in internal medicine, much like primary care physicians. When patients arrive to the hospital, a hospitalist will take care of them, prescribing treatment as needed, before referring them to a specialist or discharging them from the facility.
