Position Overview

Understanding the Role

Shaping the Next Generation While Building Your Legacy

Imagine stepping into a role where your clinical expertise directly shapes the future of Family Medicine, where every teaching moment multiplies your impact across generations of physicians, and where your career finds perfect balance between meaningful education and rewarding patient care. As a Core Faculty member at Comanche County Memorial Hospital's Family Medicine Residency Program in Lawton, Oklahoma, you'll join an intimate, fully ACGME-accredited program with distinguished osteopathic recognition that has been transforming passionate medical students into confident community physicians since 2014.

This isn't just another academic position lost in the bureaucracy of a massive institution – it's your opportunity to become an essential pillar in a close-knit program where your voice matters, your teaching philosophy shapes curriculum, and your mentorship directly influences the seven resident classes who will carry your lessons throughout their careers. The hospital system serves as the healthcare anchor for southwestern Oklahoma, drawing patients from a diverse service area that spans military families from Fort Sill, rural farming communities, Native American populations, and urban residents, creating an incredibly rich clinical learning environment where residents experience the full spectrum of Family Medicine under your guidance.

  • Full-time, hospital-employed position with the security and comprehensive benefits that come from being part of a stable, well-established healthcare system
  • Board certification required in Family Medicine (ABFM or AOBFP), with strong preference for osteopathic physicians who can champion the program's DO recognition and teach OMT
  • Ideal candidate profile includes mid-career physicians with 8-10 years of experience who bring both teaching energy and clinical maturity, though exceptional new graduates are welcomed
  • 60/40 split between residency education and direct patient care, allowing you to maintain clinical skills while focusing primarily on teaching
  • No inpatient responsibilities – your nights and weekends remain yours, with only occasional phone backup call (4-5 times annually)
  • Monday through Friday schedule with protected Friday mornings for didactic education and resident development
  • Critical compliance role as one of four required core faculty members ensuring the program maintains ACGME accreditation

The position represents more than filling a vacancy – it's about stepping into a program at a pivotal moment where your contribution will be immediately felt and long remembered. With one senior faculty member approaching retirement, you're not just joining a team; you're positioning yourself for potential leadership succession while helping to bridge the experience gap between energetic early-career faculty and seasoned educators. Your arrival will restore the program to full ACGME compliance, allowing everyone to focus on what matters most: cultivating exceptional Family Medicine physicians who will serve communities across Oklahoma and beyond.
