Credential Once. Access Multiple Hospitals.

Physicians enter a regional Hospital Medicine program spanning multiple inpatient environments within the Fresno market.

Instead of credentialing for a single hospital and depending entirely on that facility's census and staffing needs, this model creates access to a broader pool of coverage opportunities through one credentialing process.

Practice environments include:

Tertiary Referral Hospital Medicine

• 685-bed regional referral environment
• Level I Trauma setting
• High-acuity adult inpatient medicine
• Approximately 336 average inpatient census
• Approximately 53 admissions per 24 hours
• Closed ICU model
• Extensive specialty support
• Integrated APP coverage

Large Community Hospital Medicine

• Approximately 285 average daily census
• Complex adult inpatient population
• Closed ICU model
• Established Hospital Medicine infrastructure
• Strong multidisciplinary collaboration
• Dedicated APP support

Specialized Surgical Hospital Medicine

• 48-bed surgical hospital environment
• 9 ICU beds
• Approximately 28 average census
• Open ICU model
• No Emergency Department
• Medical management and consultation for surgical inpatients
• Collaborative surgeon/Hospitalist model
• No routine procedural requirements

Clinical Scope

Depending on facility and scheduled coverage, responsibilities may include:

• Hospital Medicine admissions
• Inpatient rounding and management
• Cross-cover
• Rapid Response participation
• Code leadership where assigned
• APP collaboration and supervision
• Medical management of complex adult inpatients
• Surgical patient medical co-management
• Multidisciplinary care coordination
• Epic documentation and order management

No Routine Procedures Required

This is Hospital Medicine—not an assignment quietly expecting its Hospitalists to function as procedural intensivists.

Physicians focus on admissions, inpatient management, cross-cover, response, coordination and patient progression , with appropriate specialty and Critical Care resources supporting the individual hospital environments.

APP-Supported Hospital Medicine

Physicians work alongside Acute Care NPs and PAs supporting workflows that may include:

• Observation management
• Long length-of-stay patients
• Throughput
• Goals-of-care management
• Overnight cross-cover
• Rapid Response support

Candidate Requirements

• MD or DO
• Board Certified or Board Eligible in Internal Medicine
• Active California medical license preferred
• Current ACLS
• Recent Hospital Medicine experience strongly preferred
• Comfortable with admissions and adult inpatient management
• Comfortable participating in Rapid Responses
• Comfortable collaborating with and supervising APPs

Why This Fresno Opportunity Is Different

2+ Years of Anticipated Need
This isn't a short-term vacancy with an uncertain expiration date. Credentialing can establish access to an ongoing coverage program expected to need physicians for years.

Schedule Flexibility That Actually Means Flexibility
We're not using “flexible” to describe three versions of the same rigid schedule. Tell us what availability you have, and let's see what we can build.

One Credentialing Process. Multiple Hospitals.
Establish yourself within a regional program rather than relying on the staffing needs of a single hospital.

One California Market.
Return to the same region instead of repeatedly credentialing, learning new systems, and rebuilding your locums routine elsewhere.

Epic Throughout.
Move between participating practice environments without learning a different EMR at every turn.

No Routine Procedures.
Practice Hospital Medicine with substantial clinical variety without adding a routine procedural burden.

Stop Waiting for the “Perfect” Schedule to Apply

You don't need to know exactly how many shifts you can work six months from now.

Get credentialed. Get into the program. Then let's build coverage around the availability you actually have.

If you're a qualified Hospitalist and Fresno could fit anywhere into your locums plans over the next two years, just reply to us.

Send your CV if you have it handy. Send your availability if you know it.

Or simply tell us:

“I'm interested in Fresno.”

We'll take it from there and start working toward presentation.
