Pediatrician – Founding Physician

New Pediatric Practice (De Novo) | Rocky Mount, North Carolina

Location: Rocky Mount, NC Employment Type: Full-Time Practice Status: New Practice Opening Soon

Build Something New — Where It's Truly Needed

We are launching a brand-new pediatric practice in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, and 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 significant unmet pediatric demand. Families in and around Rocky Mount are actively seeking accessible, high-quality pediatric care—and this practice is being designed specifically to meet that need.

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 Rocky Mount?

Rocky Mount offers an appealing combination of professional opportunity and lifestyle flexibility:

• Less than an hour from Raleigh and the Research Triangle
• Less than two hours to North Carolina's Crystal Coast beaches
• Affordable housing and an easy commute
• Strong community ties and a clear need for pediatric access

You get the impact and visibility of a smaller community—without giving up proximity to major metro amenities or coastal getaways.

The Role

As a founding physician, you'll be central to establishing how care is delivered and experienced in this new practice.

What you'll do:

• Provide comprehensive pediatric care to infants, children, and adolescents
• Build long-term, trusted relationships with families in the community
• Help shape clinic workflows, culture, and patient experience
• Participate in community outreach and local partnerships
• Collaborate closely with medical and operational leadership as the practice grows

This role is ideal for a physician who values autonomy, purpose, and ownership—and wants to be part of something from the beginning.

Qualifications

• Board Certified or Board Eligible in Pediatrics
• Eligible for medical licensure in North Carolina
• DEA license (or ability to obtain)
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Interest in community engagement and practice-building

Compensation & Support

• Highly competitive compensation package
• Anticipated eligibility for Federal loan repayment opportunities (up to $100,000), pending program approval and site qualification
• Anticipated eligibility for North Carolina Office of Rural Health incentives (up to $100,000), pending approval and program requirements
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Generous paid time off and holidays
• Malpractice coverage
• Full operational and administrative support so you can stay focused on patient care

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is not a replacement role or a saturated market. It's a chance to:

• Be a founding physician in a thoughtfully designed pediatric practice
• Serve a community with real demand and immediate need
• Enjoy proximity to Raleigh and the coast while maintaining a manageable cost of living
• Build something meaningful—with room for leadership and long-term growth
