Inpatient Cardiologist – Weekday-Focused | Predictable Schedule

Belleville, IL

$625K–$650K
full-time
Inpatient and outpatient

Memorial Hospital Belleville

Job Highlights

  • High Earning Potential
  • Loan Repayment or Assistance Offered
  • Less than 1 Hour from an International Airport
  • If you’re seeking a cardiology role that offers stability, flexibility, and a schedule you can truly count on—this is it.

    Join BJC Medical Group’s growing and well supported cardiology program at Memorial Hospital Belleville, where consistency, flexibility, and clinical excellence are built into this role. This is a unique opportunity to practice inpatient cardiology in a Monday – Friday model. Designed to provide routine, predictability and meaningful time outside of work.

    This position is based in Belleville, IL just minutes from St. Louis offering the perfect blend of community focused living and access to a major metropolitan area. As part of an integrated and collaborative service line within BJC Medical Group and affiliated with Washington University School of Medicine physicians benefit from seamless access to advanced subspecialty care and a broad network of clinical expertise, all within a supportive collegial practice environment.

     

    Why This Role Stands Out

    Unlike traditional hospitalist cardiology models built around rigid 7-on/7-off schedules, this position is intentionally designed to give physicians greater control over their time.

    • Consistent Monday–Friday schedule — no extended 7-day work blocks
    • Ability to plan your time away when it works best for you, rather than being locked into a fixed rotation
    • Greater flexibility to align time off with family, travel, and personal priorities
    • Predictable weekly structure that supports routine, stability, and reduced burnout

     

    True Flexibility with Protected Time Away

    This model allows you to take time away on your terms, not just when the schedule dictates:

    • 20 days of Allowed Time Off (ATO)
    • 5 dedicated CME days
    • 6 major holidays

    This structure creates intentional, protected time away throughout the year, resulting in more continuous and meaningful personal time—not just fragmented days off.

    • Fully integrated cardiology service line within BJC Medical Group
