Emergency Med | Near Washington D.C. | 1099 Role, Flexible Schedule | 350+/hr (Washington DC-Baltimore Area)

Job description

A premier group is seeking experienced Emergency Medicine physicians (EM/ABEM only) to join a growing team at an award-winning, 495-bed Level 2 trauma center in northern Virginia, near Washington D.C. — a role opening up due to tremendous growth and high demand. Backed by a clinician-led national management company founded by a physician more than 50 years ago, with partnerships across 400+ facilities in 30+ states, offering something genuinely rare in EM staffing: true schedule flexibility. As a 1099 physician, you won't work a fixed schedule — your contract sets a specific number of monthly hours, and shifts are built around your availability. You'll never be stretched thin: 5-6 clinicians staff the department at all times, seeing about 2 patients per hour across roughly 200 patients a day and 74,000 patients annually, with a large group of physicians and mid-levels sharing the load. Full subspecialty backup — cardiology, closed ICU, OB/GYN, urology, ENT, inpatient psych, and neurology with vEEG — means you're never managing complex cases alone. Both local physicians and travelers are welcome.
