This community-based, university-affiliated program is located in Plattsburgh, NY. We are searching for two additional Core Faculty physicians to join our expanding program. The positions are 60% administrative (including precepting of residents) and 40% clinical. Administrative time would focus on administration of the residency program and curriculum development. One of positions is for a DO to lead the osteopathic curriculum. The program hopes to apply for osteopathic recognition. Performing OMT would be a plus. This physician must be a DO however the other physician can be an MD or a DO. The mission of the program is to train physicians to excel in the leadership of high-quality and high value, patient centered care for people of all ages in their communities. We are very fortunate to be partnered with the University of Vermont as our program grows and expands.
The providers consist of 7 primary care physicians, 18 residents and 3 primary care advanced practitioners. In addition we have an Ob/Gyn physician , an infectious disease physician, an infectious disease nurse practitioner, and a podiatrist that round out the team. Our current practice sees approximately 19,000 patients annually.
