Solo / Independent Practice Hospitalist: Family Medicine Job in Duluth, Minnesota
This Family Medicine Hospitalist position in Duluth, Minnesota is offered as a solo/independent practice arrangement. In this model, you operate your own practice rather than working as an employee: you bill under your own name, build your own patient panel, and manage staffing, scheduling, and practice style according to your own preferences. The recruiting organization typically supports your start-up phase, often through an income guarantee, while you retain the autonomy and financial upside that comes with practice ownership — along with the administrative responsibilities that go with it.
This same position is also offered under other structures, including single-specialty group, multi-specialty group, and hospital/clinic/MSO employment, so you can consider which model best fits how you want to practice. Financial arrangements associated with this listing include an income guarantee, straight employment, an employment agreement with production bonus, and contract-based options; the financial offering for this listing is designated as Open.
Emergency department call for this role follows a 1:2 rotation. If the solo/independent structure appeals to you, it's worth discussing directly how start-up support and practice logistics would be structured for this specific opportunity.
