Cardiologist-only recruiting
Cardiologist Moonlighting Jobs That Respect Your Primary Practice
Add income without stacking employed call on locum STEMI nights
Direct answer: Cardiologist moonlighting is extra clinical work around a primary employed role—weekend cath lab, consults, clinic, reads, or device coverage—only after employer policy, malpractice, and fatigue limits are clear.
Moonlighting should feel additive—not a second full-time job. Employed general, interventional, and EP cardiologists use tightly scoped locum blocks for extra income when employer policy, malpractice, and recovery time allow it. Locum Career Hub recruits cardiologists only and will not pretend a weekend STEMI shift is “light coverage.”
Who should read this
- Employed general cardiologists who want weekend rounding or echo-read income
- Interventional cardiologists considering extra STEMI or diagnostic cath coverage
- Electrophysiologists who can add device clinic or 2-day lab days without remote-monitor burden

What you can expect
- Weekend or local blocks that fit around clinic and call already on your calendar
- STEMI, consult, echo-read, and device-clinic options matched to subspecialty
- Employer moonlighting, non-compete, and malpractice questions asked before we shop rates
The constraint is your employed contract, not the locum rate
Read moonlighting, conflict, non-compete, and malpractice language before you look at assignments. A high weekend rate is irrelevant if you cannot legally work it—or if it recreates the call you were trying to escape.
Stacking employed STEMI nights with locum STEMI nights is the most common way interventional moonlighting fails. Write recovery rules first.
What extra work looks like by subspecialty
General cardiology: weekend consults, clinic overflow, nuclear/stress supervision, or echo reads. Interventional: defined cath-lab days or STEMI call with documented backup. EP: device clinic, generator changes, or scheduled ablation days—not always 24/7 arrhythmia call.
If you need local-only work, say so. Travel moonlighting only works when the block is worth the credentialing cost.
FAQs
- Can an employed cardiologist moonlight locums?
- Often, with written employer approval and malpractice that covers the extra scope. We ask about policy before presenting STEMI or EP lab work.
- Is cardiologist moonlighting the same as locums-primary?
- No. Moonlighting is extra income around a primary job. Locums-primary is the job. The schedules, licensing investment, and tax picture differ.
