About Avance Care:

As one of North Carolina's largest independent primary care networks with over 35 clinics spanning the Raleigh/Durham, Charlotte, and Wilmington regions, Avance Care is on a mission to revolutionize healthcare by delivering exceptional, inclusive, and whole-person care.

We believe this transformation starts with providers who feel valued, rewarded, and supported, which is why we actively eliminate burnout through premium benefits, a collaborative teamwork culture, and flexible scheduling that protects your work-life balance. By integrating traditional medicine with on-site behavioral health and nutrition services, we create an affirming, non-judgmental environment where you can move away from treating patients like numbers and focus on building deep, meaningful relationships.

• True Work-Life Balance: Maximum of 40 hours per week; which includes 36 hrs/wk patient facing and built in 4 hrs/wk for admin time.
• Manageable Pace: An expected average patient load of just 2 visits per hour, giving you time to practice mindful medicine.
• Onsite Collaborative Care: Work alongside an integrated team of onsite labs, behavioral health therapists, nutritionists, and primary care providers.
• Innovative Technology: Work with a robust EMR system and integrated telehealth tools designed to make delivering care seamless.
• Robust Administrative Support: Centralized care coordination, care management, and population health management handle the heavy lifting, so you can focus on patients.
• Premium Benefits : We offer a top-tier compensation package featuring high earning potential through competitive salaries with productivity bonuses, plus comprehensive medical and dental insurance, 401(k) matching, and robust paid time off and holiday benefits.

• Treatment Planning: Developing individualized, evidence-based, and patient-centered treatment plans while educating patients, families, and caregivers.
