A Small, Collaborative Team in a Resort Town Setting

You’ll join a close-knit team that values collaboration, open communication, and community presence. The clinic is intentionally small, which allows providers to truly know their patients and to practice in a collegial environment where support comes naturally. Physicians often describe the culture as both professional and personal—you are part of a healthcare team, but also part of a mountain community where relationships matter deeply.

Experienced and Engaged Colleagues

Your future colleagues include two family medicine physicians and one physician assistant, each bringing stability and complementary strengths:

• Marin Dunn, MD – the senior physician, with Big Sky Medical Center since its inception. She provides long-standing stability, mentorship, and deep community trust. Her panel includes ~2,700 patients.
• Departing Physician – currently manages ~1,100 patients. You’ll step into this established role, inheriting a well-balanced panel with room to grow.
• Physician Assistant – maintains her own panel of ~800 patients, caring for them independently while collaborating with physicians as needed.

Practice Philosophy and Patient Expectations

The patient population is as diverse as the town itself—from seasonal lift operators to second-homeowners among the wealthiest in the country. Yet expectations remain consistent: patients want a physician who listens. The departing provider was deeply respected for building trust through approachable, compassionate care. The clinic values thoughtful, evidence-based medicine—providers are encouraged to set clear boundaries when expectations exceed what a rural clinic can reasonably provide, while still maintaining warmth and professionalism.

Culture of Support and Professional Growth

Although small, the clinic is not isolated. You’ll benefit from systemwide support through Bozeman Health, with administrative leaders and family medicine directors increasing their presence in Big Sky. Rotating specialists, outpatient lab services, imaging, and CT are all available on-site, giving you access to resources that are uncommon in rural practices and helping you provide comprehensive care without unnecessary referrals.

• Two family medicine physicians and one PA with independent panels
• Senior physician offers mentorship, stability, and community trust
• Departing physician’s panel (~1,100 patients) provides immediate continuity
• PA maintains ~800 patients independently, enhancing team efficiency
• Practice culture values listening, honesty, and professional boundaries
• Strong integration with Bozeman Health ensures resources and leadership support

This is a team where you won’t just practice medicine—you’ll join a supportive group that balances professional excellence with the unique rhythm of life in a thriving mountain resort community.
