Palliative Care — Physician Career Context

This Palliative Care position at SSMC is open to physician candidates.

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

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

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
