Post-Acute Care Physician | Jacksonville, FL

Maverick.MD is recruiting on behalf of a large, well-established national physician group, which is adding a full-time physician to its post-acute care practice in the Jacksonville, Florida area.

This role suits a physician who likes hands-on patient care, wants a genuine say in how their day runs, and prefers practicing as part of a close-knit clinical team rather than in isolation.

You will spend your weekdays rounding in skilled nursing facilities, managing your patients' medical care alongside nursing staff, therapists, and fellow clinicians. The work centers on steady, attentive care: knowing your patients well, supporting their recovery, and being a familiar, trusted presence for them and their families.

New physicians are not left to figure things out alone. You will start with a structured three-month orientation, work with an assigned clinical mentor, and have experienced physician leaders available for guidance as you settle in. Physicians new to post-acute care are welcome, and the support continues well beyond the first few months.

Overnight call is handled by a dedicated coverage team, so your evenings stay your own. The role also carries real room to grow, including paths into medical director and other leadership positions.

Responsibilities

• Complete admission assessments, histories, and physical examinations
• Build care plans for each patient and adjust them as conditions change
• Follow patient progress and coordinate with the care team to keep recovery on track
• Work as part of a multidisciplinary team with nursing, therapy, and other clinicians
• Talk with patients and families about their care, recovery goals, and prevention
• Keep charts accurate, complete, and on time

Qualifications

• MD or DO with a current, unrestricted Florida medical license and DEA registration
• Background in post-acute care, hospital medicine, emergency medicine, or outpatient practice is helpful but not essential; recent graduates are encouraged to apply
• Solid clinical judgment and a good working knowledge of current standards of care
• Clear, personable communication with patients, families, and facility staff
• A team-first approach and a genuine interest in caring for older adults

Compensation & Benefits

• Estimated annual compensation: $175,000-$205,000
• Pay is fee-for-service: you earn based on the care you provide, and there is no ceiling on productivity earnings.

Additional benefits and opportunities include:

• Structured 3-month orientation with an assigned clinical mentor
• Dedicated overnight call coverage, protecting your work/life balance
• Seasoned clinical and operational leadership for ongoing support
• Population health reports and practice data to support your clinical decisions
• Formal leadership training for physicians who want to step into medical director roles
