Description

Pediatrician - Founding Physician

New Pediatric Practice (De Novo)

Sanford, North Carolina

Location: Sanford, NC
Employment Type: Full-Time
Practice Status: New Practice Opening Soon

Build Something New - Where It's Truly Needed

We are launching a brand-new pediatric practice in Sanford, North Carolina , and are seeking a pediatrician who wants more than a traditional associate role.

This is a unique opportunity to help build a practice from the ground up in a growing community with meaningful unmet demand for pediatric care . Families in Sanford and surrounding Lee County are actively seeking accessible, relationship-driven pediatric services-and this practice is being designed specifically to meet that need.

From day one, you'll play a central role in shaping the clinical model, patient experience, and long-term vision of a practice built to serve the community for years to come.

Why Sanford?

Sanford offers a rare combination of small-town accessibility and proximity to some of North Carolina's most desirable destinations :

• 40 minutes to Raleigh and the Research Triangle
• 30 minutes to Southern Pines & Pinehurst (top-ranked golf and lifestyle destination)
• Easy access to Chapel Hill and Durham
• Just a few hours to North Carolina's beaches or the Blue Ridge Mountains

You'll find:

• A family-friendly, fast-growing community with increasing investment and development
• Affordable housing and short commutes compared to larger metro areas
• A strong sense of community and opportunity to make a visible impact

This is an ideal setting for someone who wants both meaningful work and an accessible, well-balanced lifestyle .

The Role

As a founding physician, you'll be instrumental in establishing how care is delivered and experienced in this new practice.

What you'll do:

• 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 as the practice grows

This role is well-suited for a physician who values autonomy, purpose, and the opportunity to help build something meaningful from the start .

Qualifications

• Board Certified or Board Eligible in Pediatrics
• Eligible for medical licensure in North Carolina
• 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
• Potential eligibility for Federal loan repayment programs (up to $100,000) , pending approval
• Potential eligibility for North Carolina Office of Rural Health incentives (up to $100,000) , pending approval
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Generous paid time off and holidays
• Malpractice coverage
• Full operational and administrative support-so you can stay focused on patient care

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is not a replacement role or a saturated market. It's a chance to:

• Be a founding physician in a thoughtfully designed pediatric practice
• Serve a community with real demand and immediate need
• Live within reach of Raleigh, Pinehurst, and major NC destinations
• Build a practice with long-term leadership opportunity and growth potential
