About the Position

Fresno, California Hospitalist Physician Locum Tenens
One Credentialing Process. Multiple Hospitals. Long-Term Shift Stability.

Most locum hospitalist assignments are tied to a single hospital.
When census drops, schedules change. When staffing models shift, available coverage can disappear. This Fresno Hospital Medicine program was built differently.

Launching September 2026, Rhino Medical is leading the charge to credential physicians into this new program model and gain access to multiple hospitals across one of Central California's largest integrated Hospital Medicine platforms through a single credentialing process. Rather than relying on volume at a single facility, providers benefit from consistent access to shifts across a diverse network of inpatient practice environments supported by established Hospital Medicine leadership and Epic EMR throughout.

If you're looking for long-term stability, clinical variety, and access to one of California's most robust Hospital Medicine programs, this opportunity deserves a closer look.
