Job Description

Reclaim the Practice of Your Dreams

What if you could return to the heart of medicine- the kind of practice where you know your patients by name, have time to listen, and play a meaningful role in their long-term health?

This rare opportunity allows you to step into an established, thriving MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice in Monterey, CA. You won’t just be inheriting a patient panel; you’ll be carrying forward a trusted legacy while shaping the future of care with the freedom, resources, and balance you’ve always wanted.

What Makes This Different

  • A Practice to Call Your Own – Acquire a well-established practice with a loyal patient base that’s built on years of trust.
  • Time to Truly Care – See just 8-10 patients per day, with longer appointments designed for personal preventive care.
  • Preventive, Personalized Medicine – Focus on wellness, prevention, and meaningful relationships rather than volume-based care.
  • Work-Life Balance – A manageable schedule that respects both your patients’ health and your own well-being.
  • Autonomy with Support – Lead independently while tapping into the strength and scale of MDVIP’s national physician network.

What You Bring

  • Board certification in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine
  • Active medical license (or eligibility to obtain)
  • A passion for patient-centered, preventive care
  • Outpatient primary care experience (5+ years preferred)
  • Interest in ownership and long-term practice leadership
  • Commitment to community, legacy, and lasting relationships
