Aiken Region, South Carolina Emergency Medicine Physician Locum Tenens Opportunity
Three Emergency Departments • Hospital + Freestanding EDs • Days & Nights • Ongoing Coverage

Rhino Medical is leading the charge seeking ABEM Board Certified Emergency Medicine Physicians for an expanding regional locum tenens opportunity in the Aiken, South Carolina area .

One credentialing pathway opens access to a diverse Emergency Medicine practice spanning a full-service hospital Emergency Department and two regional freestanding ED environments .

Physicians can move between a higher-volume hospital ED with extensive inpatient and specialty resources and focused 12-hour freestanding coverage. The need is ongoing , with both day and night opportunities across the regional program.

Opportunity Highlights

• Emergency Medicine Physician locum tenens
• Aiken region, South Carolina
• ABEM Board Certification required
• Regional cross-credentialing
• Main hospital + freestanding ED coverage
• Day, evening and overnight shifts
• 9-, 10- and 12-hour shift structures
• Approximately 40,000+ annual visits at the main ED
• Approximately 11,000+ annual visits at the established freestanding ED
• Physician + APP staffing at the main hospital
• Cerner EMR across currently advertised locations
• Ongoing coverage opportunity

Three Emergency Medicine Environments

Main Hospital Emergency Department
The regional hub provides full-spectrum Emergency Medicine within a substantial acute-care hospital environment.

• 40,000+ annual ED visits
• 35 ED beds
• Approximately 2–2.3 patients/hour
• Approximately 10–15% pediatric volume
• Fast Track
• Robust physician + APP coverage
• CT and ultrasound
• 24/7 radiology interpretation
• Bedside ultrasound
• Extensive inpatient and specialty backup

Current Physician Shifts

• 7:00 AM–4:00 PM
• 11:00 AM–9:00 PM
• 4:00 PM–2:00 AM
• 9:00 PM–7:00 AM

This is the higher-resource component of the regional assignment, with access to inpatient services and a broad specialty network.

Established Freestanding Emergency Department

The established FSED offers a different practice rhythm: lower-volume Emergency Medicine with 12-hour physician coverage and onsite diagnostic capability.

• Approximately 11,000+ annual visits
• 6 ED beds
• Approximately 1–1.3 patients/hour
• Approximately 20% pediatric volume
• 3 Fast Track bays
• CT and ultrasound
• 24/7 radiology interpretation
• No inpatient or ICU beds onsite
• Regional escalation and transfer pathway
• Cerner EMR

Current Physician Shifts

• 7:00 AM–7:00 PM
• 7:00 PM–7:00 AM

New Freestanding Emergency Department

The regional program is expanding with an additional freestanding Emergency Department in the North Augusta market.

The new facility is designed as a 24/7 emergency-care environment with onsite advanced diagnostic capability. Public development information describes approximately 13 treatment rooms with CT and X-ray capability , while current physician recruiting confirms both day and night locums coverage.

Current Physician Shifts

• 7:00 AM–7:00 PM
• 7:00 PM–7:00 AM

Because this is a newly opening ED, historical annual volume and patient-per-hour data are not yet established . I would not manufacture Sweetwater-equivalent volume assumptions.

Regional Practice Model

This assignment gives an experienced Emergency Medicine physician something a single-site locums position cannot: different clinical environments within one regional opportunity .

At the main hospital, physicians practice in a higher-volume department with APP coverage, Fast Track, inpatient capacity and extensive specialty backup.
At the freestanding locations, physicians transition to 12-hour ED coverage with onsite imaging and established escalation pathways when patients require hospital-level admission or specialty care.

That combination creates meaningful scheduling and practice variety without requiring physicians to credential into unrelated hospital systems.

Requirements

• MD or DO
• ABEM Board Certification required
• Full-scope Emergency Medicine practice
• Active South Carolina medical license or client-approved licensing pathway
• ACLS
• ATLS
• Hospital credentialing and privileges
• Ability to cross-credential for regional coverage

• Weekly direct deposit
• AAA-rated professional liability coverage
• Concierge credentialing support
• Dedicated recruiter communication
• Transparent scheduling and onboarding
• Long-term relationship focus
