Job Description
Inpatient Hospitalists TMC is a private medical practice company located in Houston, Texas, at the Houston Methodist Hospital, Texas Medical Center branch. We provide quality hospitalist service to our patients. Our practice is situated in the heart of the Texas Medical Center, one of the largest medical centers in the world, offering a collaborative and innovative environment for medical professionals.
Role Description
This is a job for a Full-Time on-site role for a Hospitalist. We are looking for a fully licensed MD to work as a hospitalist.
Full-time work in our practice is described as 7 days of hospitalist work followed by 7 days off-service, and the cycle repeats itself throughout the year.
The Hospitalist will be responsible for providing comprehensive medical care to hospitalized patients, including performing physical examinations, diagnosing and treating medical conditions, ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, and developing treatment plans. The Hospitalist will work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure the highest standard of patient care and coordination.
Schedule
1 week on service alternating with 1 week off service (time-off)
Typical workdays start at approximately 8 AM and usually end by 5 PM or sooner based on patient volume and efficient workflow.
Vacation
We encourage our hospitalists to arrange their vacation time when they are on their Off-Weeks.
Specific days off can sometimes be arranged by swapping workdays with other physicians in our practice, or more extended vacations can sometimes be arranged by working two weeks in a row, followed by two weeks off service.
Workload

These service lines enjoy specialized medical wings where nurses are highly trained in their respective fields and dedicated specialists to help in patient disease management.
Our intensive Care Units are semi-closed, meaning an intensivist manages the critical aspects of the patient’s illness. However, as a hospitalist, you will still follow the case for continuity of medical care until the patient transfers out of the ICU back into our primary management.
Graduating residents are encouraged to contact us no sooner than 4 months before your residency graduation.
