You’ll join a dedicated core group of physicians who have upheld exceptional patient care despite recent transitions that stretched their limits. The current 3.8 FTE team has sustained over 100 monthly deliveries—a testament to both their commitment and their urgent need for support. This is not a department in crisis but one in healthy transition, where respected clinicians have made thoughtful life choices (ministry, retirement, relocation), creating an opportunity for fresh energy and long-term stability.
Their diverse FTE arrangements reflect a modern, realistic approach to physician work-life integration. Two full-time physicians anchor the practice, providing consistent leadership. They are supported by a 0.85 FTE physician with near-full presence, two 0.6 FTE providers balancing professional and personal priorities, and two 0.2 FTE physicians contributing specialized expertise. One provider who transitioned into ministry now maintains 0.2 FTE, offering a unique pastoral presence. Another, at 0.6 FTE, is gradually retiring and no longer takes call but continues to enrich the clinic with decades of experience.
The clinical support team is one of the practice’s greatest strengths, with staffing ratios that rival or exceed those in large metropolitan systems. Every provider benefits from 1:1 medical assistant support, eliminating delays and inefficiencies. Dedicated chaperones ensure all intimate examinations are conducted safely and efficiently. The Killeen site’s two PAs and the Harker Heights NP manage independent GYN panels and early OB care up to 37 weeks, creating a collaborative system that maximizes scope of practice for all clinicians.
This team embodies resilience through camaraderie. They’ve built efficient systems to coordinate schedules across both clinic sites, balancing continuity for patients with realistic workloads for physicians. Providers maintain a home clinic base and rotate one day weekly to the sister site; call is always covered from the Killeen location for immediate access to the hospital.
What sets this team apart is not just clinical excellence but genuine support for one another. When a colleague reduced to 0.2 FTE for ministry, others absorbed the call burden without complaint. When another stepped back during retirement, schedules were reorganized to honor his transition while maintaining coverage. This is a group that uplifts each other—not a team that simply coexists.
Your integration will be intentional and supportive. Seasoned colleagues will help you understand the unique needs of the local patient population, from the insurance complexities of military families to the cultural nuances of this diverse community. They’ll also share practical efficiencies that keep the practice thriving despite current volume. Unlike competitive metropolitan environments where physicians guard their panels, here you’ll find colleagues genuinely invested in your success—because your success directly improves their lives.
Joining this team means entering a practice at an inflection point. You’re not rebuilding from failure; you’re strengthening an already solid foundation. Your arrival transforms unsustainable call rotations into manageable schedules, converts overwhelming volumes into balanced workloads, and shifts the mindset from survival to growth and renewal. You’re not just filling a vacancy—you’re completing a team that has proven its resilience and now deserves the full complement of physicians needed to deliver exceptional care while sustaining a healthy work-life balance for years to come.
