Job description
We are seeking a BC or BE Internal Medicine physician to join the rural health clinic, a nonprofit, mission-driven system anchored by a 60-bed hospital. This hospital-employed role is outpatient only, with no inpatient admitting and no ED coverage. An internist's retirement on November 1, 2026, opens an established adult practice with room to grow.

- No call: Hospitalists manage inpatient care, and Rapid Care handles many walk-ins, so you focus on continuity care.
- Patients who need you: An adult, Medicare-heavy population with strong demand for diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and cardiovascular care.
