Company:CompHealth

Profession/Specialty:Emergency Medicine

Location:Nome, Alaska, United States

Job Type:Full-time, In-person, Permanent

Job Description

Were you thinking about something different? Something quieter... farther... a little off the edge of your comfort zone? Keep reading--this might not just catch your attention... it might shift your perspective on what's possible.

What does it really mean to practice medicine where it matters most? At NHSC, about 72% of the 700+ employees are Alaska Native--deeply connected to the people, the culture, and the land they serve. This isn't just a job; it's medicine woven into community, purpose, and environment.

Now imagine doing that work in Nome, Alaska, along the Bering Sea. This full-time Emergency Medicine opportunity offers a rare balance--intensity and stillness. Work a 4-week on / 4-week off schedule with 12-hour shifts, 4 - 5 days a week. True time away when you are off. Space to reset, travel, or simply breathe.

The pace? Surprisingly manageable--fewer than 25 patients per 24 hours. The compensation? Strong--$183.75/hour (~$315K annually), plus a $30K sign-on bonus, relocation, CME, covered airfare, and housing provided at a reduced cost.

This role is open to EM, IM, or FP physicians with emergency experience who are comfortable stepping outside the typical and into something more meaningful--both professionally and personally.

  • Great job for physicians that enjoy rural living and giving back
  • Family or internal medicine physicians are accepted with experience in EM
  • Providers with experience working with native patient populations are preferred
  • Schedule is 4 weeks on/4 weeks off
  • Client pays for your round-trip ticket home every 4 weeks
  • Very light schedule of 4 - 5 shifts per week; volume is approximately 7 - 8 per 12-hour shift
  • This is a permanent full-time position with full-time benefits; no PRN
  • Our services are free for you
  • We help negotiate your salary and contract
  • We coordinate interviews and help with licenses
  • Specialized recruiters match your career preferences
  • Experienced support teams take care of every detail
