Job Description
Metro Vein Centers is a rapidly growing healthcare practice specializing in state-of-the-art vein treatments. Our board-certified physicians and expert staff are on a mission to improve people’s quality of life by relieving the painful, yet highly treatable symptoms of vein disease—such as varicose veins and heavy, aching legs.
With over 70 clinics across 9 states, and still growing, we’re building the future of vein care—delivering compassionate, results-driven care in a modern, patient-first environment.
We proudly maintain a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 93, the highest patient satisfaction in the industry.
Welcome to the Future of Your Medical Career
The standard path out of residency or early practice often leads straight to clinical burnout, endless administrative red tape, and unpredictable calls. We built a different pathway.
Metro Vein Centers invites high-caliber, growth-minded physicians to join our 1-Year Physician Apprentice Program. Designed as a prestigious, high-earning stepping stone, this program offers intensive clinical immersion, rapid procedural mastery, and broad exposure across our national network—serving as the ultimate launchpad into a full-time, high-earning Physician role with Metro Vein Centers.
Program Overview
You will spend one year embedded in the Metro Vein Centers network. You’ll receive robust, hands-on training from top vein specialists while serving as a key regional resource—filling clinical gaps for vacations, leaves, and busy seasons across our clinics.
At the end of your 1-year program, high-performing physicians are matched directly into a permanent, full-time MVC Clinic Leader position ($350,000–$700,000+ earning potential).
What You’ll Do
Clinical Training & Practice: Master state-of-the-art, minimally invasive venous procedures (endovenous ablations, ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, microphlebectomies, etc.) under elite mentorship.
Flexible Network Coverage: Serve as a highly adaptable clinical provider across regional and national clinics—stepping in seamlessly to cover planned physician leaves, seasonal volume surges, and market expansion.
Multi-State Credentialing: With our full administrative and financial support, get credentialed across multiple states—gaining invaluable clinical experience across diverse patient populations.
Transition to Clinic Lead: Take advantage of the opportunity to prepare to eventually lead your own permanent clinic location upon completion of the 1-year apprentice program.
Who You Are
Target Profile: MD or DO degree—specifically designed for recent residency/fellowship graduates or early-career physicians (0–5 years post-residency) seeking specialized procedural training and mentorship.
Board Status: Board Eligible or recently Board Certified in your primary specialty.
Adaptable & Energetic: Excited to travel, adapt across various clinical environments, and serve as a dynamic culture builder across our network.
Growth & Leadership Track: Eager to master specialized vein procedures rapidly through structured mentorship, with a clear trajectory toward long-term clinical leadership.
- Program Benefits & Perks
- Guaranteed Base Salary: $250,000 per year.
- Relocation Assistance: $15,000 relocation bonus to support your transition.
Guaranteed Career Pathway: Direct placement track into a permanent MVC clinic leadership role upon program completion ($350k–$700k+ potential, depending on location).
