Hospital / Clinic Employed Pulmonary Medicine: General Job in Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada
This pulmonary medicine position is offered as a hospital/clinic-employed arrangement. In this structure, the employing organization — here operating in a military/VA-affiliated capacity — serves as both the recruiting and paying entity: you would work as a W-2 employee under an employment agreement, with the employer administering compensation, benefits, malpractice coverage, and scheduling, and typically supplying the clinical facility, staff, and referral infrastructure. This lets you focus on clinical care rather than business administration.
The role is listed as a permanent position at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, and is also made available under Military/VA and Contract arrangements, so you can discuss which structure fits your situation. Compensation is structured as an employment agreement with a production bonus, with the financial offering tier listed as Open. Relocation assistance is provided, and the role carries no patient call or emergency department call responsibilities.
Candidates may be board certified or board eligible, MD or DO trained, and either American or foreign medical graduates; both recently trained and experienced physicians are considered. Applicants should hold US citizenship or a Green Card.
