Practice Medicine on Your Terms. Anywhere in the Country.
Guardian Physician Group places physicians and advanced practice providers in telehealth and locum tenens roles across the country — from tele-hospitalist positions you can work from home to on-site assignments in rural communities that need your expertise most. We are physician-owned and physician-operated, which means we understand what you actually need from a staffing partner: honest communication, reliable support, competitive compensation, and placements that fit your life — not just our calendar.
Why Clinicians Choose Guardian
Telehealth Opportunities That Actually Work Our tele-hospitalist and virtual care roles are built for providers who want to practice medicine without being tied to a single facility or geography. Work from home, reduce your commute, and still lead high-quality inpatient care for hospitals that need you.
Flexibility You Control Choose your assignments, your schedule, and your location. Whether you want full-time locum stability, part-time supplemental income, or a mix of telehealth and on-site work, we build around your availability — not the other way around.
Competitive, Transparent Compensation Locum tenens rates are paid as a daily or hourly rate, typically as a 1099 independent contractor. High-demand roles — overnight shifts, rural placements, specialty coverage — command premium rates. We are upfront about compensation from the first conversation.
Complete Back-End Support We handle the logistics so you can focus on medicine. That includes:
-
Malpractice insurance
-
Licensing and credentialing assistance across all states
-
Payroll processing and contract management
-
Travel and housing coordination for on-site assignments
A Group That Respects Your Expertise Because Guardian is physician-led, we don't treat providers as interchangeable resources. We take the time to understand your clinical background, preferences, and goals — and we match you with assignments where you can do your best work.
