StartDate: ASAP

Pay Rate: $270000.00 - $270000.00

The University of North Dakota School of Medicine & Health Sciences is seeking a Family Medicine Core Faculty Physician to join its established residency program in Minot, North Dakota. This opportunity is designed for physicians who are passionate about teaching, mentorship, and graduate medical education and want an academic career where education remains the primary focus.

Unlike many faculty positions that combine teaching responsibilities with a largely full-time clinical workload, this role offers a unique 0.4 clinical FTE commitment, allowing approximately 60% of professional effort to be dedicated to resident education, curriculum development, faculty leadership, scholarly activity, and program innovation.

For physicians who enjoy shaping future family physicians, building educational programs, and mentoring residents, this position offers an opportunity to make a lasting impact while maintaining meaningful involvement in patient care.

• $270,000+ guaranteed compensation
• Faculty appointment at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level based on experience

An Academic Role Built Around Teaching

Many physicians pursue academic medicine because they enjoy teaching, mentoring, and influencing the future of healthcare. However, finding a position where those interests remain the primary professional focus can be challenging.

With only a 0.4 clinical commitment, faculty members have the opportunity to devote meaningful time to resident development, educational initiatives, scholarly pursuits, program leadership, recruitment, and mentorship. Rather than fitting academic responsibilities around a busy clinical schedule, faculty can invest in the educational mission while maintaining an active clinical practice.

This structure creates a rare opportunity for physicians seeking long-term career satisfaction through teaching and leadership while preserving the work-life balance often difficult to find in academic medicine.
