Job Description

Build a New Primary Care Practice Within an Established Wellness Clinic Network

NIVA Health is launching a dedicated Primary Care service line within our established wellness clinics across Florida and Michigan, and we’re looking for ambitious physicians who want to help shape what comes next.

Primary Care is a new service line for NIVA. This is an opportunity to build your own patient panel from the ground up, rather than stepping into an existing practice or inheriting someone else’s caseload.

If you’re a physician who is energized by growth, autonomy, and the opportunity to build something meaningful, this is your chance to help define the future of Primary Care at NIVA Health.

What You'll Do

  • Provide comprehensive Primary Care: preventive, acute, and chronic condition management
  • Build your patient panel from the ground up, with organizational support behind you
  • Develop long-term patient relationships centered on continuity of care
  • Help shape clinical workflows and patient experience for the Primary Care division as it's built
  • Work alongside an established multidisciplinary clinical and operations team already in place at each clinic

Who Thrives in This Role

Builders: Physicians who want to develop a practice and patient panel from the ground up, rather than inherit a fixed patient list.

Long-Term Thinkers: Physicians who are comfortable with an initial ramp-up period and see the opportunity to build a thriving practice with greater autonomy and long-term upside.

Relationship-Driven: Physicians who value meaningful patient relationships, continuity of care, and quality over simply moving through a high volume of appointments.

Practice Shapers: Physicians who want a voice in how the practice operates, from clinical workflows to patient experience and practice design, rather than simply stepping into a predetermined model.

Qualifications

  • Medical Doctor / Doctor of Osteopathy (Required)
  • Board Certified in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine (Required)
  • Active, unrestricted medical license in Florida or Michigan (Required)
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills
  • Comfort operating in a growth-stage environment where some processes are still being defined

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary: $230k - $250k, plus profit-sharing
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life insurance
  • Malpractice coverage
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off
