Family Practice - Without OB Physician

Seeking a board-certified Family Medicine physician for a faculty position in a large, innovative family medicine residency program.

The Alaska Family Medicine Residency (AKFMR) offers a rigorous, full-spectrum curriculum with a strong emphasis on rural and underserved communities. Most training occurs in Anchorage, Alaska, where residents care for a diverse, underserved urban population-our clinic patients speak more than 90 languages. Residents also gain hands-on experience in remote rural Alaska, working in small, off-road system communities. Graduates of the program practice in a wide range of settings, including outpatient care, emergency medicine, obstetrics, inpatient adult and pediatric care, ICU, and fellowship training.

As an integral member of the AKFMR faculty, you will serve as an advisor and mentor to residents while contributing to a broad range of clinical and educational activities. Responsibilities include precepting in the ambulatory setting, direct patient care, supervision of outpatient prenatal and pediatric care, and participation in inpatient services as appropriate. You will join a collegial, mission-driven faculty team and work alongside highly motivated residents in Anchorage-a vibrant community set in the heart of Alaska's scenic landscape.

Position Details:

• Full-time faculty position working directly with Family Medicine residents

• Strong interest in academic primary care preferred, but not required
• Experience or interest in scholarly activity, including research and publication, is a plus
