Solo / Independent Practice Telemedicine: Internal Medicine Job in Bakersfield, California
This telemedicine internal medicine position in Bakersfield, California is offered, among other arrangements, as a solo/independent practice opportunity. In this structure, you operate as the business owner rather than as an employee — billing under your own name, building your own patient panel, and directing your own staffing, scheduling, and practice style. To support the transition into independent practice, the listing includes an income guarantee as part of its financial structure.
The financial offering for this role is listed at the national average tier. There is no patient call rotation and no emergency department call associated with this position.
Because this opportunity is listed under several possible practice structures — including single-specialty, multi-specialty, employed, virtual, part-time, and administrative options, among others — the solo/independent path described here represents one way the role can be structured, should you prefer the autonomy and responsibility of running your own practice.
