Locum Physician – Primary Care Family Medicine – SE Alaskan Island
06057B – There are jobs…and then there are experiences that stay with you for a lifetime. We’re seeking a Family Medicine Primary Care Physician for a unique locum tenens assignment on a remote island in Southeast Alaska where breathtaking scenery, rich culture, and meaningful medicine come together in one unforgettable opportunity. This is the kind of medicine many providers say they went into healthcare for — slower pace, deeper connections, and the ability to truly make a difference. You won’t just be filling a role. You’ll be serving a community that genuinely needs and appreciates you.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- Practice true, relationship-based medicine in a supportive outpatient clinic
- Experience Alaska’s wild beauty—coastlines, wildlife, and endless outdoor adventure
- Join a collaborative team while maintaining meaningful autonomy
- Opportunity to transition to permanent if it feels like the right fit
Compensation: Please inquire.
Position Details:
- Location: Southeast Alaska (Island Community)
- Assignment: As soon as credentialed for 3 months with option to extend
- Commitment: 2–3 months minimum strongly preferred
- Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Setting: Outpatient Primary Care Clinic
What You’ll Be Doing:
- See 12–16 patients per day in a well-supported clinic
- Provide preventative care, chronic disease management, and routine primary care
- Work alongside APPs, RNs, MAs, and experienced clinic leadership
- Deliver care that is impactful, personal, and truly appreciated
What We’re Looking For
- Active Alaska MD license
- DEA + BLS, ACLS, PALS, ATLS certifications
- 2+ years of primary care experience
- Experience with prenatal care and/or IUD placement preferred
- A provider who values cultural respect, adaptability, and community connection
Additional Details:
- Medical Malpractice Insurance: Provided at no cost to you
- Travel & Housing: Provided at no cost to you
- Meaningful Work: Serve a deserving community with critical healthcare services
