Clinical Partner & Medical Director Opportunity
Build Ownership While Practicing Medicine Your Way
Location: Las Cruces, New Mexico (Hybrid)
Model: Revenue Share Partnership with Pathway to Equity Ownership
Schedule: 10 hours/week (you control when) -- No nights, weekends only as needed
We're Building Something Different
Want hands-on clinical work without sacrificing your autonomy or long-term financial future? We're looking for a physician partner who wants to shape how primary and urgent care should work--not just punch a clock.
This isn't a traditional Medical Director role where you're buried in admin. This is a real partnership where:
- We share profits - your success is our success
- You build equity - own part of what you're creating
- You practice your way - autonomy over clinical decisions
- You avoid burnout - flexible schedule, sustainable volumes
The Partnership Model
Profit Share Structure - Rather than a fixed salary that caps your upside, you share in practice profits. When we grow, you benefit directly.
Equity Path (2-3 Years) - Minority stake (up to 5%), real profit distributions, upside participation. Options include cash buy-in, sweat equity, or performance-based awards.
What You'll Actually Do
Clinical Leadership & Supervision
- Provide oversight and supervision for Advanced Practice Providers
- See patients in primary and urgent care settings
- Set and maintain clinical protocols and standards
- Guide provider performance and development
Quality Assurance & Risk Management
- Oversee quality improvement initiatives and outcomes tracking
- Conduct chart reviews and provide clinical feedback
- Manage clinical risk and ensure compliance with standards
- Lead root cause analysis and implement corrective actions
- Monitor adverse events and near-misses
Practice Operations
- Shape workflows that prioritize quality and efficiency
- Implement care coordination and population health programs
- Participate in strategic planning and growth decisions
- Maintain regulatory compliance (HIPAA, state/federal requirements)
Who This Is For
Must have:
- MD or DO
- Active New Mexico medical license
- Board certified or eligible (Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, or related)
- Demonstrated leadership or supervisory experience managing clinical staff or operations
- Experience with quality assurance and clinical oversight
Nice to have:
- Background in quality improvement and risk management
- Experience with value-based care or chronic care management
- Comfortable with technology and EHRs
- Telemedicine background
Why This Works
- Build Real Wealth - Profit sharing now, equity ownership path within 2-3 years.
- Sustainable Practice Environment - Lower-stress setting compared to high-volume emergency departments.
- Real Leadership Authority - You set clinical standards and culture.
- Flexibility Built In - Part-time (10 hrs/week) with room to grow.
- Interests Aligned - When you succeed, we succeed.
Equity Structure: The Specifics
Two ways you get paid:
- Profit Share (Starts Day 1) - Competitive hourly rate plus a percentage of practice profits. Quarterly distributions.
- Equity Ownership (2-3 Year Path) - Minority stake (up to 5%). Real ownership with profit distributions.
Vesting over 3-4 years:
- Year 1: See if we're a good fit (0% equity, just profit share)
- Year 2: Start vesting at 33%
- Year 3: Up to 66%
- Year 4: Fully vested at 100%
If You Leave: After fully vested, we buy your shares at fair market value (third-party appraisal). You get paid cash immediately.
Next Steps
What to send:
- Your CV/resume
- Brief note about what draws you to a partnership model
- Your thoughts on practice ownership and what kind of clinical environment you want to build
We're equal opportunity partners and encourage applications from physicians of all backgrounds who share our vision for sustainable, physician-led medicine.
