Emergency Medicine | Three-Physician Coverage | 327-Bed Hospital | Hemet, CA | Hiring Now

Job Description

Employer: Inhospital Physicians / Seven Star

The Opportunity

A 327-bed hospital founded in 1943, one of the largest private employers in the San Jacinto Valley, running a high-volume community ED at roughly 2.3 to 2.5 patients an hour. Three physicians plus APPs are on the schedule, so this is a department where you have colleagues rather than a radio. Residents assist with codes. Primary stroke capability and cardiac services on site. For Southern California, the cost of living here is a different world from Orange or coastal LA county.

What You'll Own

\n
• A busy community ED with actual staffing. Three physicians plus APPs across 29 beds.
\n
• Higher throughput than our other California sites — roughly 2.3 to 2.5 patients an hour.
\n
• Code leadership with resident assistance , which changes how a resuscitation actually runs.
\n
• Stabilize-and-transfer decisions. No neurosurgery or cardiothoracic surgery on site, so those cases move.
\n

Must-Haves

\n
• MD or DO
\n
• Active California license
\n
• Comfort with sustained community ED throughput
\n

Nice to Have

\n
• ABEM or AOBEM certification
\n
• Experience in a high-volume community department
\n
• Paragon familiarity
\n

What Working Here Is Actually Like

\n
• $405,000–$420,000 annually at full-time volume (1,560 hours), independent contractor, inclusive of the RVU mix.
\n
• Paragon with ambient AI dictation. At this volume it matters more here than anywhere else in the group.
\n
• Malpractice and tail both covered. Tail is the one people forget to ask about until they leave.
\n
• Three-physician coverage plus APPs — you are not carrying the department alone.
\n
• Physician-owned and physician-managed since 2012. When you escalate a problem, it reaches a physician who still works clinical shifts.
\n
• Not a locums agency. An ongoing program position with a named, stable team.
\n
• Southern California at a materially lower cost than Orange or coastal LA counties. Mountains, desert recreation and Temecula wine country nearby.
\n

Straight Talk

This is the busiest of our California departments. Two and a half patients an hour with residents in the room is a genuinely full shift, and the absence of neurosurgery and cardiothoracic backup means the sickest patients still leave. If you want a quiet single-coverage ED, look at Victorville or Menifee instead. One practical warning: California does not participate in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, so if you are licensing in from another state, start that process now — it is the long pole in every California hire we make, and it is the single most common reason a good candidate and a good job miss each other.
