Location: Mattoon, Illinois

We have partnered closely with a premier regional healthcare facility to recruit a full-time, Board Certified or Board Eligible (BC/BE) Emergency Medicine Physician. This unique position offers an exceptional balance of high-earning financial rewards, double-physician coverage, and a highly manageable clinical workload designed to mitigate clinical burnout. If you are seeking a lucrative hospital-employed practice with a lighter clinical pace and an incredibly supportive working environment, this opportunity is an ideal fit.

Responsibilities:

• Provide high-quality emergency medical care to patients within a modern, 32-bed Emergency Department.
• Manage a highly comfortable patient pace averaging fewer than two encounters per hour.
• Collaborate seamlessly with a second on-duty physician, maintaining double-physician coverage at all times.
• Efficiently stabilize and coordinate transfers for high-acuity trauma and major cardiac cases ("no heads, no hearts") to tertiary care partners.
• Work a predictable rotation of 15 shifts per month utilizing three structured 10-hour blocks (6:00 AM–4:00 PM, 1:00 PM–11:00 PM, or 4:00 PM–2:00 AM).
• Coordinate patient care with on-site specialties, including the hospital’s dedicated inpatient psychiatric department.
• Maintain thorough, accurate, and timely electronic medical records for all patient encounters.

Qualifications:

• Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) from an accredited institution.
• Board Certified or Board Eligible (BC/BE) in Emergency Medicine (or a relevant specialty with extensive ED experience).
• Active, unrestricted Illinois state medical license (or immediate eligibility to obtain).
• Valid DEA registration.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with a team-oriented mindset optimized for a co-coverage model.

Benefits:

• $75,000 sign-on bonus structured over 3 years.
• $100,000 retention bonus structured over 5 years.
• Low-burnout schedule requiring only 1,776 annual hours (with non-clinical time built directly into the rotation).
• Premium health, dental, and vision insurance packages.
• Fully paid medical malpractice insurance coverage.
• Robust retirement savings plan with employer matching contributions.
• Full short-term/long-term disability and life insurance policies.
