Southern California hospitalist jobs · Physician-only

Know what a hospitalist job is actually like before you sign.

Every acute care hospital in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, rated by the physicians who work there. Built for graduating residents and hospitalists comparing offers.

For graduating residents

Your first hospitalist job is a three-year decision made on a 45-minute tour.

Roughly 300 internal medicine residents finish in these four counties every June, and most stay. The tour shows you the lobby. The people who work nights there can tell you the rest.

BEFORE YOU INTERVIEW

Read the page

Open the hospital's page here first. Census, ICU model, which consultants answer, case management hours, EMR, parking, food at 2am. Bring the gaps as questions.

AT THE INTERVIEW

Ask what the page can't tell you

  • Admits per shift, and who caps them
  • Open or closed ICU overnight
  • Nocturnist coverage and cross-cover load
  • Procedures expected of you
  • How the schedule is built and who owns swaps
  • Pay model: shift rate, wRVU, or salary — and what's realistic in year one
COMPARING OFFERS

Tap ☆ on the hospitals you're considering. They line up here so you can compare scores, facts, and what the last people said.

THE CALENDAR

When things happen

  • Sep–Nov: programs post, interviews start
  • Dec–Feb: offers, contract review, negotiation
  • Mar–May: credentialing (60–120 days — start the day you sign)
  • Jul: first shift

Credentialing is the step that makes people miss their start date. Sign by March.

Residents join with a program email — no NPI needed. Ask your chief or program coordinator to share this page with your class.

Medical directors: a claimed page lets you post your program's facts (schedule model, EMR, staffing, pay range) and respond to reviews. Reviews are never removed for a listing.

Request access

Who it's for. Hospitalists and nocturnists in Southern California, residents finishing training, and the medical directors who run the programs.

Verification. Sign up with an institutional email — your hospital, health system, or medical school address. We send the link there, then check your NPI against NPPES and your license with the Medical Board. No personal email addresses for now.

No institutional email? Independent contractors and others without one will be able to verify by member vouch or a badge photo soon. Email alex@mdsignout.com in the meantime.

What we never do. Sell your contact info, admit recruiters, or show a hospital who wrote a report.
