About The Position

St. Elizabeth Physicians is seeking a Board Certified or Board Eligible Internal Medicine or Family Medicine physician to join its hospital medicine team serving hospitals in Northern Kentucky and the Greater Cincinnati region. The organization provides 24/7 care to acutely ill patients across four hospitals. This nocturnist role offers a collaborative, physician-led practice environment, modern facilities, remote advanced practice provider support, and flexible scheduling options.

The nocturnist works from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., providing overnight inpatient care and managing admissions across medical-surgical and transitional care units. A remote APP team provides cross-cover and admission-call support. The system uses a closed ICU model, with no code responsibilities and very limited procedures, so the role focuses on patient evaluation, admissions, and evidence-based inpatient care. Scheduling options include 7 on/7 off, 5 on/9 off, or 7 on/14 off.

St. Elizabeth Physicians is a physician-led multispecialty organization with 517 physicians, 334 advanced practice providers, and more than 2,000 non-provider associates. It serves more than 409,000 patients through more than 121 practices in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. The organization emphasizes patient-centered care, accountability, community, innovation, teamwork, excellence, and physician wellness. The position is based in a welcoming Northern Kentucky community with access to Cincinnati amenities. St. Elizabeth Physicians is an equal opportunity employer.
