Gastroenterologist at Lexington Health - South Carolina

Flexible Inpatient, Blended, or PRN Model

Lexington Health - West Columbia, South Carolina

Overview:

Lexington Health is expanding gastroenterology services and seeking board-certified/board-eligible Gastroenterologists to join our growing program.

We recognize that physicians have different career preferences. As we develop a comprehensive, system-employed gastroenterology service line, we are intentionally designing flexibility in practice structure to meet both physician preferences and community demand. We are currently offering multiple pathways:

Practice Model Options:

Option 1:
Inpatient-Focused GI Hospitalist

• Primary responsibility for inpatient consults and procedures
• Dedicated hospital-based schedule (7-on-7-off)
• Collaborative environment with hospitalists, intensivists, and surgeons
• Competitive compensation aligned with inpatient productivity

This track is ideal for physicians who prefer hospital-based medicine and procedural focus without outpatient responsibilities.

Option 2:
Blended Inpatient + Outpatient Practice

• Opportunities for inpatient coverage combined with outpatient clinic responsibilities
• Flexible distribution between inpatient and outpatient care (customizable based on physician preference and program needs)
• Ability to develop long-term patient panels within a strong referral network
• Participation in shaping clinic workflow, scheduling, and future recruitment

This pathway allows physicians to design a practice model that may include a higher inpatient or outpatient percentage, with long-term opportunity to help shape the structure of the service line.

Option 3: PRN / Supplemental Coverage

• PRN inpatient consult and procedural coverage
• Flexible scheduling based on availability
• Opportunity to support program growth while maintaining outside practice commitments

This option may be ideal for physicians seeking supplemental income, semi-retirement flexibility, or transitional practice arrangements.

The Opportunity

This structure allows physicians to:

• Practice strictly inpatient medicine
• Design a blended inpatient/outpatient model
• Participate on a PRN basis
• Help shape a sustainable, physician-led gastroenterology program

We are committed to building a flexible, scalable GI service line designed to meet the growing needs of our community while supporting physician autonomy and long-term career goals.

• Large, built-in referral base from an employed primary care network
