This is an opportunity to join a community-based practice affiliated with Dignity Health. In many cases, providers will join an existing single-specialty or multi-specialty medical group (solo options are occasionally available). Physicians in an independent group tend to enjoy both the practice of medicine and the business side of health care. Some benefits of independent practice opportunities include:

• Exposure to and ability to impact all aspects of business operations associated with your practice
• Flexibility to adjust work/life balance to meet your personal and professional needs, since you’re the one running the practice
• Choice of joining an established practice or developing a new independent practice
