Clinical Component

Clinical Details: A Balanced, Purpose-Driven Rheumatology Practice

Your clinical experience will be shaped by variety, autonomy, and collaboration in a practice that thrives on meaningful work without the chaos of high-volume, high-pressure medicine. You’ll serve as the sole rheumatologist in a region hungry for access, which means you’ll see a wide spectrum of pathology and develop rewarding relationships with patients who often travel hours for your care.

You’ll work within a modern multi-specialty clinic, surrounded by collegial and supportive primary care physicians who are deeply invested in integrated care. Your clinic is designed to maximize efficiency and minimize burnout, giving you the tools and staff you need to focus on patients, not paperwork. 

  • Schedule: Four-day workweek with consistent hours; no hospital call or inpatient responsibilities
  • Setting: Outpatient-only care within a multi-specialty clinic co-located with imaging, lab, and infusion services
  • Patient Volume: Balanced daily volume that prioritizes complex care over churn; time allotted for in-depth evaluations
  • Clinical Focus: Autoimmune disease, inflammatory arthritis, connective tissue disorders, osteoporosis, gout, and lupus
  • Support Staff: Access to experienced medical assistants and nursing staff for intake, injections, and care coordination
  • Collaboration: Strong referral relationships with internal medicine, orthopedics, endocrinology, and pain management
  • Procedures: Opportunity for ultrasound-guided joint injections and in-clinic diagnostics
  • Technology: EMR system designed for outpatient use, with templates and protocols customized for rheumatology

Your clinic flow is designed to be both smooth and patient-centered. Expect scheduled new and return visits with the flexibility to adjust based on acuity. The in-house infusion center allows seamless coordination of biologic therapies, and the close integration with labs and imaging means fewer delays and stronger clinical insight. It’s a setting that invites you to slow down, think deeply, and practice the kind of medicine that brought you into rheumatology in the first place.
