Grundy, Virginia Emergency Medicine Physician Locum Tenens Opportunity
~10,000 Annual ED Visits • 12-Hour Shifts • FM/IM/Surgery/IM Boards Accepted • September & October Coverage | Ongoing Need

Rhino Medical is leading the charge seeking Board Certified Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, and Internal Medicine Physicians for upcoming Emergency Medicine locum tenens coverage in Grundy, Virginia.

For physicians who prefer lower-volume community Emergency Medicine, this is a compelling assignment. The Emergency Department sees approximately 10,000 annual visits with 24 hours of daily physician coverage divided into straightforward 12-hour shifts.

Current openings are concentrated into defined blocks in September and October, making this particularly attractive for physicians who have several consecutive days available and want to turn them into a focused locums assignment.

The clinical environment is broad community Emergency Medicine. Specialty backup is limited, so physicians should be comfortable independently evaluating, stabilizing, treating, and determining appropriate disposition or transfer for Emergency Department patients.

Opportunity Highlights

• Grundy, Virginia
• Emergency Medicine Physician
• Locum Tenens
• ~10,000 Annual ED Visits
• 12-Hour Physician Shifts
• 24 Hours of Daily Physician Coverage
• Current Need Primarily Night Coverage
• Board Certified FM & IM Physicians Accepted
• 49-Bed Community Hospital
• T-System EMR
• Broad-Spectrum Community Emergency Medicine
• Travel and Lodging Support Available

• October 21-24: Nights | 8:00 PM–8:00 AM

The standard physician coverage model consists of:

• Days: 8:00 AM–8:00 PM
• Nights: 8:00 PM–8:00 AM

Current clinical openings are for the night blocks listed above, with daytime orientation September 18.

Practice Environment

This is a lower-volume community Emergency Department serving Southwest Virginia and the surrounding Appalachian region.

• Approximately 10,000 annual ED visits
• 49-bed hospital
• 24-hour physician coverage
• 12-hour physician shifts
• T-System EMR
• Limited specialty backup

At approximately 10,000 annual visits, the opportunity offers a distinctly different practice environment from a high-throughput metropolitan Emergency Department while still requiring the breadth and independent decision-making of community Emergency Medicine.

Clinical Scope

Physicians should be comfortable practicing broad-spectrum Emergency Medicine, including:

• Evaluation and stabilization of Emergency Department patients
• Acute medical presentations
• Emergency and traumatic presentations
• Emergency procedures within physician competency
• Diagnostic evaluation and treatment
• Code response
• Patient disposition
• Transfer coordination when higher-level or specialty care is required
• T-System documentation
• Collaboration with nursing and available hospital resources

Because specialty backup is limited, candidates should be comfortable practicing with the independence expected in a community Emergency Department and recognizing when transfer is appropriate.

Physician Requirements

• MD or DO
• Board Certification Required
• Accepted specialties:
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Family Medicine
  • Internal Medicine
  • General Surgery
• Active Virginia medical license
• Active DEA registration
• Recent Emergency Department experience
• BLS, ACLS, PALS

Why Physicians Move on This Opportunity

• Lower-Volume Emergency Medicine: Approximately 10,000 annual ED visits creates a very different clinical pace from a large urban Emergency Department.
• 12-Hour Coverage Blocks: Straightforward 8A–8P and 8P–8A physician shifts make it easy to understand exactly how coverage is structured.
• Block Your Locums Dates Together: Current openings include consecutive night shifts, allowing traveling physicians to consolidate coverage rather than working scattered individual dates.
• FM & IM Physicians Accepted: The opportunity isn't limited exclusively to Emergency Medicine-trained physicians. Qualified Board Certified Family Medicine and Internal Medicine physicians with recent ED experience may also be considered.
• Practice Broad Community Emergency Medicine: Limited specialty backup creates an environment well suited to physicians who value independent clinical decision-making and are comfortable with the breadth of community Emergency Medicine.
• A Different Kind of Virginia Assignment: Grundy sits in the Appalachian Mountains of Southwest Virginia, offering a dramatically different environment from the state's major metropolitan markets.

• AAA-rated professional liability coverage
• Concierge credentialing support
• Dedicated recruiter communication
