School Counseling — Physician Career Context

This School Counseling position at University of Texas at Austin is open to physician candidates.

Physicians (MD/DO) are in high demand across healthcare settings, with growing interest in positions that offer sustainable schedules and reduced administrative burden.

Remote physician positions in School Counseling have grown significantly in recent years, offering clinicians the ability to maintain a full patient panel without geographic constraints or commute-related burnout.

Location & Logistics

This is a fully remote physician position. Remote clinicians can practice from any state where they hold an active license, eliminating commute time and offering maximum schedule flexibility. Many remote healthcare positions also allow providers to establish a more sustainable long-term practice pattern.

Texas has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. For a physician earning $300k, the absence of state income tax can represent $15k–$30k or more in annual savings.

Why This Position Stands Out

No on-call requirements — clinicians are completely off-duty after hours
No weekend shifts — preserving personal and family time
Fully remote — work from anywhere with an active license
Transparent compensation ($80k–$80k)
