Location
This opportunity is located in Quincy, California, offering a community-based practice setting in Northern California.
Healthcare Organization
Our client is seeking a Family Medicine Physician to join its team and provide comprehensive care across the lifespan. The position offers physicians the flexibility to choose between a 100% outpatient practice or a combination of outpatient and inpatient medicine.
The organization is located in a designated Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA). HRSA notes that primary-care HPSA scores range from 0 to 25 and provides an official lookup for current scores. [data.hrsa.gov], [bhw.hrsa.gov]
The opportunity may also be attractive to physicians pursuing loan-repayment programs. For example, the federal NHSC Students to Service Loan Repayment Program requires participants to work at an NHSC-approved site with an HPSA score of 14 or higher. Final eligibility depends on the physician, site approval, program requirements, and current HPSA score. [nhsc.hrsa.gov]
Job Responsibilities
The physician may select from two practice models:
Option 1: 100% Outpatient Family Medicine
- Provide comprehensive outpatient primary care
- Treat patients across the full lifespan
- Average approximately 18–22 patients per day
- Current physician practice model is approximately 3–4 days per week
Option 2: Outpatient + Inpatient
- Provide outpatient Family Medicine for four weeks
- Every fifth week, transition to inpatient coverage
- Round on hospitalized patients during the inpatient week
- Average inpatient census of approximately 5 patients
- Remain available for call during the assigned inpatient week
This structure provides the physician with an opportunity to choose between a traditional outpatient practice or maintain an inpatient component while practicing comprehensive Family Medicine.
Compensation & Benefits
- Permanent, direct-hire position
- Competitive compensation package
- Flexible practice options
- Outpatient-only or outpatient/inpatient model
- Potential student loan repayment opportunities based on program and individual eligibility
