Posted July 16, 2026, and rewritten for this Baton Rouge scope on October 13, 2026. Contact Locum Career Hub to see if this is still available.

Candidate fit
A defined outpatient week, or a clinic week plus only the inpatient and call you opt into, is built for physicians who want Baton Rouge clinical work without a full-time employed contract.
Use this opening to see what a competitive non-invasive locum block in Baton Rouge looks like before you leave a W-2 job. Inquiry is not a resignation and not a start date.
The Monday–Friday clinic structure has no required hospital rounding and no required night or weekend call. Say “outpatient only” on the form if that is the only structure you will take.
If you prefer more than clinic, the second structure adds some inpatient work plus 24-hour weekend call and night call. That call is a preference, not the default for every candidate.
An existing Louisiana license is the fastest path into Baton Rouge. Physicians in nearby Louisiana markets can treat this as a commute or a short locum stay; out-of-state physicians should plan licensure first.
Recurring Baton Rouge clinic, with or without optional call, can sit beside other blocks. Tell us the weeks you can hold so we do not present you for a structure you will not work.
This is one Baton Rouge non-invasive cardiology opening with two structures. Both are paid very competitively. The difference is how much hospital work you want.
Structure one is completely outpatient, Monday through Friday. Structure two keeps the outpatient work and adds some inpatient coverage, including 24-hour weekend call and night call if you prefer it. You do not have to take call to be considered.
Physicians searching for part-time cardiology or a locum clinic job in Baton Rouge can take the outpatient-only structure. The week is Monday–Friday. The work is non-invasive cardiology in clinic, not a cath-lab or EP-lab assignment.
Before you accept, we still confirm panel size, new versus follow-up mix, echo or stress expectations, support staff, and whether any results inbox follows you after Friday. Outpatient-only means no required inpatient rounding and no required night or weekend call. It does not mean the clinic day is undefined.
Some cardiologists want the clinic and also want hospital work. That structure adds some inpatient non-invasive coverage to the outpatient week. It can include 24-hour weekend call and night call when that is what you prefer.
Call is optional on this opening. If you want the higher-touch structure, say so. If you want clinic only, say that instead. We will not present an outpatient-only candidate for weekend call, and we will not hide call from someone who asked for it.
This page is for cardiologists considering part-time work or locum tenens in Baton Rouge. It is not a permanent employed listing and not a statewide Louisiana job board.
Part-time here means a chosen clinical structure — weekday clinic, or clinic plus the inpatient and call you opt into — rather than an open-ended full-time contract. Locums means coverage through Locum Career Hub, with written scope before you are presented. Employed cardiologists still need to check moonlighting approval, restrictive covenants, fatigue, and their own malpractice before adding Baton Rouge days.
The client describes pay as very competitive for non-invasive cardiology. We do not print a daily rate on this page because a public number would get ahead of the written offer. The rate you are quoted is confirmed before we present you, and it follows the structure you choose.
Locum Career Hub’s separate educational benchmark for noninvasive and general cardiology locums is $2,200–$2,800 per day. That chart is context for the specialty. It is not the rate card for this Baton Rouge job. Ask us for the written figure for outpatient-only versus outpatient plus optional weekend and night call.
Physicians looking at part-time or locum cardiology search the city. Baton Rouge is the market for this assignment. It is not a New Orleans job, not a Shreveport job, and not a generic “southeastern Louisiana” listing.
If Baton Rouge is outside the radius you will travel, this is the wrong opening. If you can be in Baton Rouge for the weeks you claim, the city match is the point of the page.
Louisiana participates in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact for many physicians, which can shorten a new license compared with non-compact states. An existing Louisiana license is still the faster path into Baton Rouge. Compact paperwork is not the same thing as hospital privileges.
Privileging follows non-invasive scope: clinic, and inpatient only if you chose that structure. Interventional privileges and EP lab privileges are not part of this job. Share active licenses and the earliest week you can actually be in Baton Rouge when you inquire.
It is not interventional cardiology, not electrophysiology, and not hospitalist coverage. Louisiana search results often mix those roles. This opening does not.
It is also not a thin city page with an invented hospital name. The facility stays off the public page. The specialty, the city, the two schedules, and the competitive-pay position are what we can say before you inquire.
Yes. This non-invasive cardiology opening in Baton Rouge is built for physicians considering part-time or locum work. You can take a Monday–Friday outpatient schedule, or outpatient work plus some inpatient coverage. Posted July 16, 2026 — contact Locum Career Hub to see if it is still available.
Yes. One structure is completely outpatient, Monday–Friday, with no required inpatient service and no required night or weekend call. Say that preference on the inquiry form.
No. Weekend call is optional. The second structure adds some inpatient work and can include 24-hour weekend call and night call if you prefer that. Physicians who want clinic only are not required to take call.
Night call is available on the inpatient structure if you want it. It is not the default for the outpatient-only structure.
Non-invasive cardiology only. This is not a PCI job, not an EP job, and not hospitalist coverage.
The client describes pay as very competitive for non-invasive cardiology. We confirm the written rate for the structure you choose before presenting you. This page does not publish a daily dollar amount.
You need a Louisiana license, or a realistic path to one, before the dates you want. Louisiana is in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact for many physicians. An existing Louisiana license is faster. Hospital privileges in Baton Rouge are a separate step.
No. The assignment is in Baton Rouge. Do not inquire if you only want New Orleans, Shreveport, or another Louisiana city.
Often, after you review employer moonlighting rules, restrictive covenants, fatigue, and malpractice. The outpatient Monday–Friday structure and the optional-call structure create different conflicts with a primary job. We do not treat an inquiry as employer approval.
No. It is part-time and locum coverage. If you want a permanent employed role only, this page is the wrong fit.
