Addiction Medicine — Physician Career Context

This Addiction Medicine position at Gifford Street Comprehensive Treatment Center 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 Addiction Medicine have grown significantly in recent years, offering clinicians the ability to maintain a full patient panel without geographic constraints or commute-related burnout.

Compensation Analysis

This position also offers production-based compensation: $34000 per hourly. Production bonuses can significantly increase total earnings above the stated base salary range.

Location & Logistics

Many remote healthcare positions also allow providers to establish a more sustainable long-term practice pattern.

  • No weekend shifts — preserving personal and family time
  • No night shifts — a daytime-only schedule
  • Fully remote — work from anywhere with an active license
  • Transparent compensation ($34k–$34k)
