Job description

Hospitalist Program Director — Level II Trauma Center, Gulf South Region

An established Level II Trauma Center with 500+ beds is looking for a Hospitalist Program Director to take the reins of a 35-40 provider inpatient medicine team. This is a full P&L, full-authority operational leadership seat, not a clinical role.

You’ll manage everything that keeps the hospitalist program running: staffing, scheduling, budget, compliance, and the working relationship between providers and hospital administration.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Full operational leadership of a 35-40 provider hospitalist and APP team
• Designing shift schedules that maintain 24/7/365 coverage
• Reviewing and validating provider shifts, differentials, and productivity for payroll
• Overseeing credentialing, licensing, and compliance program-wide
• Acting as the go-to contact between the provider group and hospital C-suite
• Drive hospital throughput by managing length of stay, discharge timing, and daily rounding efficiency in partnership with case management

What we're looking for:

• Bachelor's degree minimum, MHA or MBA preferred
• 3+ years leading hospital medicine or inpatient physician practice operations
• Comfort with EHR and HRIS platforms
• Track record managing provider onboarding, reviews, and team development
• Demonstrated success improving hospital throughput, length of stay, and discharge efficiency in a prior hospitalist or inpatient operations role

Compensation: Up to $140,000 base (dependent on experience) + full benefits + up to $15,000 relocation assistance.

Ideally located for candidates currently based in New Orleans, Mobile, Jackson, or Biloxi who want to be centrally located in the Gulf South while enjoying a lower cost of living.
