MemorialCare s Children s Village in Long Beach, CA is seeking 1 2 Pediatric Endocrinologists for an ongoing locum tenens assignment beginning around January 1, 2026. This need is due to the departure of UCLA s five-provider endocrinology team, and coverage is required while MemorialCare builds its new long-term service line.

This posting is going up early additional details will follow as the facility finalizes staffing plans. Please reach out with any questions.

Position Overview

• Location: Children s Village 2701 Atlantic Ave, Long Beach, CA 90806
  (Located on the Long Beach Medical Center campus)
• Setting: Outpatient Pediatric Endocrinology + Inpatient Consults
• Start Date: January 1, 2026 (flexible)
• Schedule:
  • Providers typically cover one full week at a time
  • Half-day clinic daily (in person or video visits)
  • Hospital rounding (NICU, PICU, inpatient units as needed)
  • 24/7 telephone call coverage during assigned weeks
• EMR: Epic
• Shift: 5 days/week, 8:00a 5:00p
• Vaccinations:
  • COVID-19: Not required
  • Flu: Required (medical/religious exemptions allowed)
• Locums-to-Perm: Strong possibility

Clinical Scope

Typical responsibilities include:

• Insulin pump management
• Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) management
• Supervising infusion center stimulation tests and endocrine diagnostics
• Outpatient pediatric endocrine follow-up
• Inpatient consults and rounding
• Minimal callback expected (facility has multiple attendings and fellows daily)
• Very flexible aiming for half-day clinic each day
• Telehealth may supplement clinic load

Candidate Requirements

• Board Certified or Board Eligible (early-career BE acceptable; new grads welcome)
• Active California Medical License required
• Epic experience required
• Minimum 2 years of clinical experience
• Clean background any malpractice or disciplinary issues will prevent privileging
• Local candidates strongly preferred, but will consider traveling physicians (commutable distance is ideal)

What the Facility Prefers

MemorialCare leadership is selective, with strong preference for:

• Physicians who live locally or within a short commute
• Providers coming from integrated or large-system models, such as:
  • Optum
  • Kaiser Permanente
  • Providence
• Candidates with prior large pediatric system experience
• Early-career physicians or those comfortable stepping into a high-responsibility role

They may consider providers from private practice backgrounds if the fit is right.

Why This Assignment Stands Out

• Rare opportunity to support a rebuilding Pediatric Endocrinology program
• Consistent weekly blocks + predictable schedule
• Ability to convert to a permanent role if desired
• Work on a major SoCal medical campus with strong inpatient teams
• High-impact role with meaningful continuity of care

If you d like to learn more, confirm interest, or check your availability against their schedule, reach out any time I d love to walk you through the details and submit you for consideration.
