Job Description

We are seeking an Internal Medicine or Family Medicine physician for a flexible inpatient rounding opportunity in a smaller, lower-acuity rehabilitation setting in Seattle.

  • Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • 7 days on / 7 days off
  • Average 4–5 hours of rounding per day
  • Dedicated NP handles documentation and charting
  • No typical 12-hour hospitalist shifts
  • Stable, collaborative inpatient environment
  • Excellent opportunity for physicians seeking better work-life balance or supplemental income

Position Overview

The physician will provide daily medical management and inpatient rounding for patients in a rehabilitation setting. You’ll work alongside an experienced clinical team while focusing primarily on patient care rather than extensive documentation.

This is an excellent opportunity for a physician who wants to maintain inpatient practice while having more time away from the hospital.
