Physician Family Practice-With OB - Competitive Salary

Job Description

Help Build a New Family Medicine & OB Residency Program — Phelps Health, Rolla, Missouri\n
\n
We're not building just another rural residency program. We're building THE program — and we need physicians who want to build it with us.
\n
\nPhelps Health is launching a new ACGME-accredited Family Medicine/OB residency program, welcoming its first residents in Summer 2028. This is a rare opportunity for physicians who want more than a faculty title — the chance to shape curriculum, culture, and training philosophy from the very beginning, backed by an institution with the independence and stability to support it long-term.\n
\n
Leadership & Faculty Opportunities \n

\n
• Residency Program Director — lead the program's development and long-term direction
\n
• Associate Program Director — partner in shaping curriculum and training structure
\n
• Residency Faculty — teach, mentor, and help define what rural FM/OB training should look like
\n

Why This Program Is Different \n

\n
• We are our own sponsoring institution. Phelps Health isn't borrowing GME sponsorship from an outside academic center — we control the pace, priorities, and direction of this program directly.
\n
• An experienced interim Program Director is already in place , focused specifically on developing and preparing the incoming faculty team before residents ever arrive — you won't be building this alone or without guidance.
\n
• A people-centered approach. Our existing Family Medicine physicians are collaborative and genuinely eager to participate as faculty — this program is being built by people who want to teach, not physicians filling a requirement.
\n
• A true ground-floor opportunity. With residents not arriving until Summer 2028, faculty joining now will shape the program's foundation — not adapt to a structure someone else already built.
\n

Why Phelps Health \n

\n
• Independent, county-owned hospital with a track record of reinvesting in the organization
\n
• Financially sound and growing, with leadership genuinely invested in physician success
\n
• Flexible practice models built around what works for physicians and patients
\n
• Epic EMR and DAX Copilot already in place, reducing documentation burden
\n

Why Rolla, Missouri \n
\n

\n
• Rolla offers big-city amenities with small-town cost of living — 90 minutes from St. Louis, with top-rated public schools, low crime, and endless outdoor access to the Ozarks and Mark Twain National Forest. It's also home to Missouri S&T, ranked Missouri's #1 public university for return on investment (Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce), giving the community a distinct academic and cultural energy uncommon in rural markets.
\n

Compensation & Benefits \n

\n
• Guaranteed base salary each year of contract, benchmarked to MGMA data
\n
• Achievable wRVU bonus structure each year of contract
\n
• Signing bonus, relocation allowance, and residency stipend
\n
• J-1 Visa waiver eligible — Family Medicine is a priority specialty under the Delta Regional Authority program, supporting visa sponsorship for qualified international physicians
\n
• Student loan repayment program
\n
• Comprehensive benefits package
