About the Position

Franklin, Virginia Family Medicine Physician Locum Tenens Opportunity
Part-Time Outpatient Primary Care • Monday–Wednesday • 8A–2P • No Call • Epic

Rhino Medical is leading the charge seeking a Family Medicine Physician for a highly manageable, part-time outpatient locum tenens opportunity in Franklin, Virginia , from September 21 through December 18, 2026 .

This assignment offers an unusually attractive primary care schedule: three days per week, six-hour daytime shifts, no call, and approximately 10–16 patients per day . The physician will provide continuity-focused outpatient care for a predominantly adult and geriatric patient population while helping cover an existing provider vacancy.

For a Virginia physician looking to add predictable clinical work without taking on a full-time schedule, evenings, weekends, or call, this is a compelling way to build consistent fall coverage into your calendar.

Opportunity Highlights

• Location: Franklin, Virginia
• Specialty: Family Medicine / Primary Care
• Assignment Type: Locum Tenens
• Coverage: September 21–December 18, 2026
• Monday–Wednesday
• 8:00 AM–2:00 PM
• Part-Time Schedule
• No Call
• Approximately 10–16 Patients Per Day
• Outpatient Primary Care
• Epic EMR
• One Physician Needed
• Coverage Due to Provider Vacancy

Schedule

Monday: 8:00 AM–2:00 PM
Tuesday: 8:00 AM–2:00 PM
Wednesday: 8:00 AM–2:00 PM

There are no call responsibilities associated with the assignment.

The consistent three-day schedule and six-hour clinical days make this particularly well suited to physicians seeking recurring locum work alongside an existing practice, semi-retirement schedule, administrative responsibilities, or other professional commitments.

Patient Population

This is primarily an adult and geriatric outpatient practice , rather than a heavily pediatric Family Medicine assignment.

Current patient mix:

• 51% Adult
• 48% Geriatric
• 1% Pediatric
• Approximately 10–16 patient encounters per day

Physicians should be comfortable providing longitudinal primary care across adult age groups, including the management of common acute and chronic medical conditions.

Clinical Scope

The physician will provide comprehensive outpatient Family Medicine services consistent with credentialed scope, including:

• Routine outpatient primary care
• Acute and chronic disease management
• Preventive health and wellness visits
• Medication management
• Age-appropriate health screenings
• Chronic disease monitoring
• Women's health and Pap smears
• Diabetic foot examinations
• Diagnostic evaluation and appropriate referrals
• Patient education and follow-up
• Documentation and order management in Epic

The practice has limited in-office procedural volume , so this is fundamentally a primary care assignment rather than a procedure-heavy Family Medicine position.

Practice Environment

The physician will step into an established outpatient primary care environment to help maintain access and continuity during a provider vacancy.

The combination of 10–16 daily encounters, six-hour clinical days, Epic EMR, and no call creates a considerably different practice profile from higher-throughput primary care locums assignments.

There are no teaching or leadership responsibilities associated with the position.

Candidate Profile

We're seeking a Family Medicine physician who is comfortable independently managing a predominantly adult and geriatric outpatient population.

Ideal qualifications include:

• MD or DO
• Family Medicine training
• Appropriate Board Certification or Board Eligibility
• Virginia medical licensure appropriate for the assignment
• Appropriate DEA registration
• Recent outpatient Primary Care or Family Medicine experience
• Comfortable managing adult and geriatric patients
• Comfortable performing Pap smears and diabetic foot examinations
• Familiarity with Epic is beneficial

Final credentialing requirements will be confirmed during presentation.
