A well-established, financially strong healthcare system in Northwest Indiana is seeking a Board Certified or Board Eligible Pain Medicine Physician to join its growing employed physician group in Munster, Indiana, approximately 30 minutes from downtown Chicago.

This is a full-time, permanent opportunity offering a predominantly outpatient practice (90%), a flexible Monday–Friday schedule, productivity and quality bonus potential, a negotiable sign-on bonus, and 6 weeks of flexible time off. Physicians are also encouraged to incorporate subspecialty interests and help shape their practice around their individual professional goals.

A major advantage is the predominantly outpatient structure:

• Board Certified or Board Eligible candidates considered
• Subspecialty interests encouraged
• Opportunity to shape the practice around individual professional goals

Build a Practice Around Your Interests

The organization specifically encourages physicians with additional subspecialty interests.

Rather than requiring the incoming physician to fit into a narrowly defined practice model, there is an opportunity to develop aspects of the practice around your own clinical strengths, interests, and long-term professional goals.

You'll also join a collegial group of system physicians who can provide mentorship, clinical collaboration, referrals, and support as you develop your practice.

The organization offers a competitive employed physician compensation model with additional upside tied to productivity and quality.

• Highly competitive base salary
• Compensation negotiable based on MGMA guidelines
• RVU-based bonus opportunities

A specific dollar range was not provided in the recruitment materials, so final compensation will be negotiated based on experience, qualifications, and the overall employment arrangement.

• 403(b) retirement plan with employer match
• 6 weeks of flexible time off
• Exceptional CME funds

Advanced Technology

The health system utilizes EPIC EMR across both inpatient and outpatient settings, including AI functionality.

The organization is also described as a fully integrated HIMSS Stage VII health system, reflecting a highly developed clinical information technology infrastructure.

Physician Support & Organizational Stability

The incoming physician will join a collegial group of system physicians who are eager to provide:

• Physician mentorship
• Clinical collaboration
• Referral relationships
• Practice-development support
• Assistance developing individual clinical interests

The physician network is backed by a financially strong health system with an experienced, long-tenured local leadership team, providing the stability and resources necessary to establish a long-term Pain Medicine practice.

• MD or DO
• Board Certified or Board Eligible
• Appropriate training in Pain Medicine
