Whether you are a physician considering joining CEMG or a hospital seeking experienced emergency department staffing — we would like to hear from you.
Columbia Emergency Medical Group is an independent physician group with nearly five decades of emergency medicine experience. We welcome inquiries from qualified emergency medicine physicians interested in joining the group, and from hospitals or health systems seeking experienced emergency department staffing.
CEMG brings fifty years of experience staffing one of the most complex and high-volume emergency departments in Los Angeles County. We are open to discussions with hospitals and health systems seeking a proven, independent physician group to staff or consult on their emergency department operations.
CEMG is a tightly-run, independent physician group that has practiced at MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center since 1976. We are selective about who joins us — and we look for physicians who share our commitment to clinical excellence, independence, and the culture of a close-knit group.
Direct inquiries only. Please reach out to Dr. Arguija directly.
We are not a corporate staffing agency. We are not a health system with hundreds of locations. We are a single, independent, tightly-run physician group that has practiced at one hospital for fifty years — and we take that seriously.
No private equity. No corporate parent. Decisions are made by physicians, for physicians and patients.
We have practiced at the same institution since 1976. That kind of continuity speaks for itself.
Level II Trauma, ECMO, EDAP, STEMI, Stroke — few EDs in LA County can offer this range of capability.
Our physicians hold active academic affiliations and train residents from seven programs across Southern California.
