When an MDVIP-affiliated physician decides to retire, our experienced Physician Services team finds a qualified doctor to purchase this established, stable practice. It is a unique opportunity for an incoming physician to either relocate or transition to a more personalized primary care model. For doctors interested in acquiring a personalized care practice or seeking employment, we have opportunities around the country as MDVIP-affiliated physicians retire and take advantage of our succession experience. We work with physicians the same way our affiliated doctors work with patients—we customize our efforts to meet unique business needs.

As the national leader in personalized, preventive primary care, MDVIP offers physicians in all types of markets —rural, suburban and urban—the opportunity to open a new membership practice. Even without an existing patient base, MDVIP develops a comprehensive business strategy at no cost to you to assist you in starting your practice successfully and then continues to invest in your growth and prosperity.

Because people are our priority, we work together with our affiliated physicians to establish continuity of care for patients who choose not to participate in our membership-based model. In other words, no one is left without care. Become an employed physician by working alongside one of our experienced affiliated physicians, providing continuity of care in a traditional setting for patients who are not enrolled as members.
