We’re open to experienced leaders as well as physicians who are ready for their first formal leadership role. What matters most is long-term commitment and a genuine interest in building stability within the clinic and team.

About the position:

We’re looking for a physician who’s ready to take the next step into leadership while continuing to practice hands‑on medicine.

• Helping drive patient satisfaction and operational consistency

You’ll work alongside a strong clinic team that includes APPs, physicians, medical assistants, X‑ray techs, physical therapists and PTAs, front office staff, and a Practice Manager.

We’re open to experienced leaders as well as physicians who are ready for their first formal leadership role. What matters most is long‑term commitment and a genuine interest in building stability within the clinic and team.

Qualifications:

• MD or DO
• Board Certified in Occupational Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, PM&R, or Orthopedics
• Current DEA license
• Current BLS certification
• FMCSA certification for DOT exams, or ability to obtain within 60 days of hire
• Colorado DOWC Level I & II accreditation strongly preferred (required within 6 months; certification expenses covered)
• Two years of Occupational Medicine experience highly preferred
• We will also consider physicians with strong workers’ compensation experience in urgent care, family medicine, emergency medicine, sports medicine, or internal medicine settings
• 30-minute Teams interview with the State Medical Director
• 30-minute Teams interview with the Director of Operations
• Final on‑site visit to meet the clinic team

We’re looking for someone who wants to plant roots, lead from the front, and help shape the long‑term success of the clinic. If you’re interested in a stable weekday schedule, strong compensation, and meaningful leadership responsibility, we’d welcome the conversation.
