Join the dedicated “open access” team in this community health center and see unscheduled patients of all ages for walk-in primary care and urgent care visits.

You will have a 4 day/week schedule (40 hours) with rotating weekday and weekend shifts. Phone-only call is light and shared with other providers. You will enjoy practicing in a modern facility with state-of-the-art technology, electronic medical records, and excellent team-oriented support to provide the best possible patient care. This practice has a terrific 1:1 provider to nurse ratio. You will earn a competitive salary plus benefits including relocation assistance, federal liability insurance, health, dental and vision coverage, disability and life insurance, and participation in a retirement plan (employer contributions begin in year 2). Enjoy 3 weeks of paid vacation time (4 weeks starting year 2) plus paid holidays, and additional paid time off plus a budget for your CME. You will also be eligible to apply for tax-free NHSC loan repayment. Maine is the #2 State for Living and Working, and the #2 Safest State in the US.
