Pediatrician – Founding Physician
New Pediatric Practice (De Novo) | Springfield, Tennessee
Employment Type: Full-Time Practice Status: New Practice (Aligned with the Right Provider and Location)
Summary
Make a meaningful impact in a community with clear need.
Build Something New — Where It's Truly Needed
We are exploring the launch of a new pediatric practice in Springfield and are seeking a pediatrician who wants more than a traditional associate role.
This is a rare opportunity to help build a practice from the ground up in a community with growing demand for accessible, high-quality pediatric care.
This is a provider-led expansion with flexibility around timing and location to ensure the right long-term fit.
From day one, you will play a meaningful role in shaping the clinical experience, care model, and community relationships of a practice built to last.
Why Springfield?
Springfield offers a strong sense of community just outside a major metro area, with clear opportunities to expand access to care.
· Approximately 30–40 minutes from Nashville
· Underserved pediatric market in Robertson County
· Tight-knit, relationship-driven community
· Lower cost of living with easy commutes
Physicians here have the ability to make an immediate and visible impact in a community that values long-term relationships.
The Role
· Provide comprehensive pediatric care to infants, children, and adolescents
· Build long-term, trusted relationships with families
· Help shape clinic workflows, culture, and patient experience
· Participate in community outreach and local partnerships
· Collaborate closely with medical and operational leadership
Qualifications
· Board Certified or Board Eligible in Pediatrics
· Eligible for state medical licensure
· DEA license (or ability to obtain)
· Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset
· Interest in community engagement and practice-building
Compensation & Support
· Highly competitive compensation package
· Health, dental, and vision insurance
· Generous paid time off and holidays
· Malpractice coverage
· Full operational and administrative support
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is not a replacement role. It is a chance to be a founding physician in a thoughtfully designed pediatric practice serving a community with real demand.
