Seattle, WA Emergency Medicine Physician Locum Tenens

Emergency Medicine | 2 Full-Time Openings | 8–14 Patients Daily | Ongoing Through 2027

Rhino Medical is leading the charge in seeking Board-Certified Emergency Medicine Physicians (MD/DO) for two full-time locum tenens opportunities in Seattle, Washington. These positions offer ongoing coverage at an established urban hospital, with an immediate need for experienced physicians who can provide consistent scheduling flexibility and high-quality emergency care.

This opportunity combines a manageable reported patient volume of approximately 8–14 patients per day with predominantly medical presentations, low trauma volume, and medium-to-high clinical acuity. Physicians will practice in a collaborative, hospital-based Emergency Department with dedicated nursing support, Epic EMR, and access to multidisciplinary clinical resources.

With coverage anticipated throughout 2027, this assignment is particularly attractive for Emergency Medicine physicians seeking a substantial, long-term locum tenens commitment rather than occasional PRN shifts.
