External Position Overview 

One of our Partners in Virginia is offering a high-paying, procedure-heavy GI locum assignment designed for physicians who want strong earnings without a chaotic call environment.

This is a bread-and-butter GI setup — you’re primarily in the endoscopy suite, with a dedicated clinic day and light inpatient consults. Call is beeper-only with very low callback (~5%) , so you maintain control of your schedule.

Why GI locums are choosing assignments like this:

• Top 10% pay nationally
  
  
• Consistent endoscopy volume (no ERCP requirement)
  
  
• Predictable weekly structure — no shifting schedules
  
  
• Low call disruption (not getting pulled in constantly overnight)
  
  
• No admissions responsibility
  
  
• No APP supervision
  
  
• Built for longer-term continuity if you want stability
  
  

If you’re looking for a high-income GI assignment where you can focus on procedures and avoid burnout from excessive call , this is a strong fit.
