New Practice (Aligned with the Right Provider and Location)

Summary

Make a meaningful impact in a community with clear need.

Build Something New - Where It's Truly Needed

We are exploring the launch of a new pediatric practice in Springfield and are seeking a pediatrician who wants more than a traditional associate role.

This is a rare opportunity to help build a practice from the ground up in a community with growing demand for accessible, high-quality pediatric care.

This is a provider-led expansion with flexibility around timing and location to ensure the right long-term fit.

From day one, you will play a meaningful role in shaping the clinical experience, care model, and community relationships of a practice built to last.

Why Springfield?

Springfield offers a strong sense of community just outside a major metro area, with clear opportunities to expand access to care.

• Approximately 30-40 minutes from Nashville
• Underserved pediatric market in Robertson County
• Tight-knit, relationship-driven community
• Lower cost of living with easy commutes

Physicians here have the ability to make an immediate and visible impact in a community that values long-term relationships.

The Role

• Provide comprehensive pediatric care to infants, children, and adolescents
• Build long-term, trusted relationships with families
• Help shape clinic workflows, culture, and patient experience
• Participate in community outreach and local partnerships
• Collaborate closely with medical and operational leadership

Qualifications

• Board Certified or Board Eligible in Pediatrics
• Eligible for state medical licensure
• DEA license (or ability to obtain)
• Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset
• Interest in community engagement and practice-building

Compensation & Support

• Highly competitive compensation package
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Generous paid time off and holidays
• Malpractice coverage
• Full operational and administrative support

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is not a replacement role. It is a chance to be a founding physician in a thoughtfully designed pediatric practice serving a community with real demand.
