Rhino Medical is leading the charge seeking Board Certified Emergency Medicine Physicians for a high-priority locum tenens opportunity in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, supporting an established regional Emergency Medicine program with multiple new freestanding emergency departments coming online in 2026.

This is an opportunity to help stabilize and support newly launched Emergency Medicine sites from the ground up.

  • Cross-credentialing across multiple sites
  • Consistent night shift availability
  • Coastal South Carolina location
  • Opportunity to get in early on new site launches
  • Strong regional Emergency Medicine infrastructure
This is a high-impact opportunity for Emergency Medicine physicians who want meaningful clinical work, schedule consistency, and a chance to support a growing coastal ED platform.
