Family Medicine Physician

Position Summary At the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation, we are working together to achieve excellent health. Through Native Self-Determination and providing a Culturally Relevant Health System, we strive to be the healthiest people. Our outpatient family medicine team supports these initiatives by providing full spectrum family medicine in its purest form—caring for an entire village.

Each physician panel (capped at 1,300 patients) is constructed around one or two of these villages. Physicians primarily see their patients in Bethel, but also travel to their continuity village(s) by small plane at least four times annually. Our providers enjoy flexible administrative time, no afterhours or weekend call, opportunities for telehealth/remote work, generous CME, among many other benefits.
