Caribou, Maine: We invite a friendly, skilled Pediatrician to join the medical staff of an award-winning, community-owned 65-bed medical center where over 500 employees serve 35,000 residents around northeastern Maine. You will be impressed by this “Top Rural Hospital” – a multiple blue-ribbon hospital and Women’s Choice Award winner. Leapfrog has given this hospital an “A” Safety Score every year. They are rated in the top 2% of all US hospitals for health information and patient safety technology, a ”Best Place to Work in Maine,” and are the “Employer and Provider of Choice” in healthcare in the area.

Candidates requiring NHSC, H1b or J1 visa sponsorship are encouraged to apply to this Equal Opportunity Employer. Expert legal counsel will manage the immigration process, with all costs covered.

Join 2 experienced pediatricians providing compassionate, high-quality care to infants, children and teens. You will have a mostly outpatient practice and share 1:3 coverage of the infrequent low acuity inpatients (complex patients are referred to the large tertiary medical center in Bangor). Pediatricians here also attend c-sections a couple of times per month on average (about 75/year total for the group, out of about 220 annual births). Most of the time, you will see patients in a welcoming outpatient clinic – the beautifully appointed Women’s and Children’s Health Center within the medical center (a quick walk from the labor/delivery unit), supported by an excellent clinical and administrative team using Epic EMR.

The employer is a hospital-affiliated FQHC (federally qualified health center) certified as a Patient-Centered Medical Home. They use a coordinated team-based approach that enables patients to take an active role in their health status and decision making. The team emphasizes access, health information technology, and coordinated care focused on patients, working to deliver seamless health and wellness services to every patient. You can look forward to a convenient schedule with call supported by a telephone triage system that screens after-hours calls to improve YOUR quality of life.

You will earn a highly competitive salary plus excellent benefits including paid relocation assistance to beautiful Maine, paid liability insurance, health and dental insurance, life and disability insurance, paid time off for sick leave and vacations, more paid leave plus a budget for your CME, participation in a retirement plan, and more. Ongoing assistance with student loans is also available. This health center is approved for tax-free NHSC loan repayment.
