Addiction Medicine — Physician Career Context

This Addiction Medicine position at Operation PAR 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.

Compensation Analysis

This employer qualifies for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). Eligible clinicians can have their remaining federal student loan balance forgiven after 120 qualifying monthly payments (10 years). For physicians and advanced practice providers carrying significant educational debt, PSLF eligibility can represent hundreds of thousands of dollars in long-term financial benefit.

This position also offers production-based compensation: $23 per hourly. Production bonuses can significantly increase total earnings above the stated base salary range.

Location & Logistics

This position is based in Florida.

Florida has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. For a physician earning $300k, the absence of state income tax can represent $15k–$30k or more in annual savings.

Why This Position Stands Out

No on-call requirements — clinicians are completely off-duty after hours
No weekend shifts — preserving personal and family time
No night shifts — a daytime-only schedule
