Hospitalists, intensivists, emergency medicine and anesthesia.
Admitted medical inpatients — admissions, rounding, discharge and rapid response.
Critically ill patients in medical, surgical or mixed ICUs.
Undifferentiated emergency patients across all acuities.
Surgical and procedural patients requiring anesthesia across all services.
They look interchangeable on a job description and are not. The single most common cause of a failed placement in this group is a req that names the unit but not the acuity, the ratio or the equipment — so a candidate arrives qualified on paper and unable to hold the assignment.
| Unit | Typical workload |
|---|---|
| Hospitalist | Typically 12–18 encounters per shift |
| Intensivist | Unit census-based |
| Emergency Medicine | Patients per hour based |
| Anesthesiology | Case-based |
We ask for patient population, acuity, ratio, equipment and shift pattern at intake, plus the exact credential the unit requires rather than the job title. If you are not sure what to specify, describe the patients and we will work backwards to the credential.
Physicians and advanced practice providers are licensed in all 50 states. The Interstate Medical Licensure Compact is widely described as portability and is not — it is an expedited route to obtaining several separate state licenses, each still issued and regulated independently. The physician assistant compact has been enacted but is not yet issuing privileges. Privileging, which runs on your medical staff committee calendar, is usually the binding constraint rather than licensure.
Every candidate is spoken to before submittal, with licensure, certifications and unit-specific competency confirmed up front. Rates sit inside the ranges on our published cost breakdown.
Tell us the unit, the ratio and the start date.
