Job description
About the facility
A community-based hospital in Highland, IL is seeking a locum tenens Anesthesiologist for low-volume, supervisory-only coverage. This well-supported surgical site features 3 ORs, strong 2:1 CRNA coverage, and an exceptionally mild acuity profile—with most ASA 1–3 and rare ASA 4s. The hospital does not have an ICU and transfers critical patients to a higher-level facility, making this an ideal assignment for physicians who prefer structured, low-stress clinical environments.
The hospital uses Epic EMR, has a tight-knit team, and is welcoming a new surgical group—necessitating an MD presence for oversight and compliance. You won’t be expected to run your own cases; this is a pure supervisory role.
About the facility location
Located in southern Illinois, this town offers a relaxed lifestyle with easy access to St. Louis. Enjoy a quiet, small-town atmosphere while being less than an hour from a major metro. It’s a great spot for locums seeking peace of mind, convenience, and work-life balance.
About the clinician's workday
• 8-hour shifts, no overtime or call
• No weekends, nights, or pager responsibilities
• Supervision only – no hands-on cases
• Case types: General, Ortho, GI
• CRNA ratio: 2:1

This role is ideal for anesthesiologists who enjoy mentoring strong CRNAs, prefer predictable work without clinical chaos, and value low-acuity settings with minimal stress. Whether you’re semi-retired, between full-time roles, or building a portfolio of flexible assignments, this is a smart, steady option.
