MD/DO - Physician/Family Medicine
Arc Health is seeking a full-time Med-Peds or Family Medicine Physician for a Tribal health facility based in Kotzebue, AK. This is a regional facility that serves as the hub for 11 remote villages. It has a 17-bed inpatient ward, no surgery, and provides outpatient/ emergency care to Alaskan Natives. Within the system there is a strong network of Community Health Workers, NPs and PAs that staff the smaller, remote clinics. This position would begin as soon as credentialed. Here are some key features of this job:
Location:
Kotzebue is located above the Arctic Circle in northwest Alaska. It is a remote community, accessible primarily by air, and serves as a hub for several smaller surrounding villages.
The area is home to a predominantly Alaska Native population, particularly Inupiat Eskimos.
Work Setting:
As an outpatient family medicine physician, you would work at the Maniilaq Health Center, which serves the region.
The role is focused on outpatient care, meaning you'll provide general health care services for patients of all ages without requiring hospital or emergency room coverage.
Scope of Practice:
The physician would be responsible for a wide range of services, including routine checkups, preventative care, treatment of acute illnesses, management of chronic conditions, and minor procedures.
Due to the rural nature of the area, the physician may need to be comfortable with a broad scope of practice, as referrals to specialists can be limited.
Cultural Sensitivity:
Working in Kotzebue requires an understanding of the cultural and healthcare needs of the Alaska Native community. Physicians are expected to provide culturally sensitive care and work closely with community health aides and local staff.
Telemedicine & Collaboration:
Physicians often collaborate with other healthcare providers and specialists via telemedicine, especially for complex cases, as access to specialist care in rural Alaska is limited.
Lifestyle & Adventure:
Kotzebue offers a unique lifestyle, with outdoor activities like fishing, hunting, dog mushing, and opportunities to experience the Arctic environment. However, the remoteness and cold climate may require adaptation.
The community is tight-knit, and many healthcare providers find their work here incredibly fulfilling due to the impact they have on the community’s overall health.
Ideal candidate – clinically capable, personally willing to be flexible, get on plane and work in remote area, come back and do inpatient. Also comfortable working with SUD.
Length: 4 - 6 week rotating schedule
Support staff/EMR: Team of RN, MA, and an expansive network of Community Health Workers. EMR is Cerner.
Alaskan medical license strongly preferred but not required to start.

About the Locations:
Juneau, Alaska, the capital city,
is a remote gem nestled within the vast Tongass National Forest, accessible
only by air or sea due to its lack of road connections. Despite its capital
status, Juneau exudes a cozy small-town vibe, boasting a colorful downtown
adorned with historic buildings and a warm community spirit. Visitors are
enchanted by its natural wonders, offering a plethora of outdoor adventures
such as hiking amidst towering peaks, whale watching along the coast, or
exploring ancient glaciers. Just across the Gastineau Channel lies Douglas, a
quaint town steeped in mining history and scenic vistas of mountains and
waterways. Further north, Haines beckons with its breathtaking scenery along
the Inside Passage, inviting travelers to indulge in activities like fishing,
wildlife spotting, or immersing in cultural events like the Alaska Bald Eagle
Festival. Skagway, to the northwest, retains its gold rush charm, showcasing
historic landmarks and offering scenic rail journeys through rugged landscapes.
Gustavus, near Glacier Bay National Park, provides access to pristine
wilderness, while Angoon on Admiralty Island offers insights into Tlingit
culture and opportunities for outdoor exploration. Each village paints a unique
portrait of Alaska, inviting adventurers to delve into its rich tapestry of
landscapes, cultures, and histories.
If you are a dedicated healthcare
professional seeking an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in underserved
communities while enjoying the natural beauty and cultural richness of Alaska,
we encourage you to apply.
