C/BE Family Medicine Physician for existing two physician practice - Arkadelphia, AR

Arkadelphia Medical Clinic and Baptist Health are seeking a BC/BE Family Medicine Physician to join an existing two physician practice.

Arkadelphia Medical Clinic is a well established clinic with the physicians having been in the practice over 20 years. The need for a third physician is because of an increased need in Arkadelphia and the surrounding areas due in part to the recent departure of a family medicine physician from the community.

• The ideal candidate will be a caring physician who prefers the lifestyle and practice style that is available in a small town.
• This is a dedicated, respected group of physicians who work well together and are seeking a partner who will be a good complement to what they have established as a group.
• This practice is outpatient only with inpatient care provided by hospitalists with whom the Family Medicine physicians work closely.
• The clinic hours are M-F 8-5 and phone call is shared among the physicians in the practice.
• The practice is busy with each physician averaging 25-30 patients per day.
• The group provides the full range of care that would be expected in a Family Medicine practice with some of the physicians performing procedures such as colonoscopies, vasectomies, and cosmetic dermatological procedures.

This is an employed position with Arkansas Health Group (AHG), a subsidiary of Baptist Health. The compensation model is salary plus an opportunity for quarterly bonuses. There is a clinic manager on site as well as a Regional Practice Administrator who serves as a liaison between the clinic and AHG.
