Job Description

Build Your Practice. Grow With Ours.

Dermatology Associates of West Michigan (DAWM), an established, physician-owned and physician-led dermatology practice, is seeking a Board-Certified or Board-Eligible General Dermatologist to join our team in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

This opportunity comes as part of a planned physician transition and offers the ability to step into an established practice with strong patient demand while building a long-term career with one of West Michigan's leading independent dermatology groups.

We are seeking a dermatologist who values high-quality patient care, clinical autonomy, collaboration, and the opportunity to become an integral part of our practice for years to come.

The Practice

For more than 25 years, Dermatology Associates of West Michigan has provided comprehensive dermatologic care to patients throughout West Michigan.

Our collaborative provider group includes general dermatologists, dermatopathologists, Mohs surgeons, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners, allowing us to provide comprehensive medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatologic care within our practice.

As an independent, physician-owned group, DAWM provides an environment where physicians can focus on patient care while having a meaningful voice in how the practice operates and grows.

What Sets DAWM Apart

Established Patient Demand

Physician-Owned & Physician-Led

DAWM is independently owned and led by our physician partners. Our physicians maintain clinical autonomy and have the opportunity to play an active role in the direction and continued growth of the practice.

Path to Partnership

We are looking for more than a physician to simply join the practice. For a physician interested in making DAWM their long-term professional home, this position offers a path to partnership and the opportunity to have a greater role in the ownership, leadership, and future of the organization. Additional details regarding the partnership pathway will be discussed throughout the interview process.

Flexibility & Work-Life Balance
