Welcome to the Family Practice Website

FAMILY PRACTICE - CAREERS WITH US

We're a National Placement Agency recruiting for over 10,000 opportunities throughout the country, ranging in size from large national hospital chains to single practitioner offices in small town America ... and literally everything in between. But regardless of their size, our clients are well-educated professionals, CEOs, administrators, and MDs who own their own practices. So our employees must be qualified professionals as well!

PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT

Market Researchers

Market Researchers perform a very necessary and vital role within the Family Practice team of professionals. Ambitious and self-disciplined, our Market Researchers are responsible for "combing" the entire country to identify new leads. Market Researchers regularly communicate with medical facilities in all four time zones and achieve a call-frequency of no less than four times a year. As "high-end" marketers, our Market Researchers are expected to project a warm and friendly demeanor while exhibiting the utmost in professionalism and ethical integrity. Successful Market Researchers are eligible for promotion to Senior Market Researchers and Account Executives. Market Researchers are compensated at a base hourly rate of $10.00 per hour and earn commissions from lead-generation. Average earning potential is equivalent to approximately $18.00-$22.00 per hour.

Account Executives

Working from our Dunedin, Florida office, our Account Executives are a team of exceptional, highly motivated, inside-sales professionals. Each executive is responsible for a protected territory ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 U.S. medical facilities from which they identify new physician needs and present Family Practice services. Although we work from a single office location here in Dunedin Florida, our clients are distributed throughout this great country. For this reason we make extensive use of both telecommunication and internet technologies. This is a "high-end" telesales position, with an established National Placement Agency. We are not a "dot-com," and our Account Executives are not telemarketers. Successful Account Executives are eligible for promotion to Physician's Agent or Physician Liaison positions. Earning potential for this position is usually between $40,000 and $70,000 annually.

Physician Agents

Similar to the agents of professional athletes and actors, our Physician's Agents work as the physician's advocate by locating and negotiating career opportunities. During training, Physician's Agents gain extensive knowledge of the physician employment market and become experts in employment contract negotiation. Physician's Agents bring to bear their strategic negotiation expertise to ensure their clients the most attractive compensation package available. A Physician's Agent compiles a "book" of business through rapport building, solid relationship development, and professional networking. This is a "referral" business and Physician Agents demonstrate stellar communication and "people" skills.

Physician Liaisons

Our Physician Liaisons are the essential link between employers and physician candidates. The Physician Liaison identifies appropriate candidates from our physician pool and presents them to employers seeking a good fit for their practice opportunities. The Liaison screens both employers and candidates to ensure compatibility and employment longevity. A Physician Liaison negotiates Contingency Agreements, selects and presents candidates, coordinates interviews, and negotiates employment contracts. Physician Liaisons must be very diverse and talented professionals with the ability to articulate information to both sides in an effort to trouble-shoot, anticipate, and circumvent obstacles for Employers and Candidates alike.

J-1 Placement Specialist

J-1 Placement Specialists help international physicians holding J-1 Visas obtain employment with medical facilities eligible for federal waivers. In addition to coordinating interviews and negotiating employment contracts, the J-1 Placement Specialist manages the entire J-1 waiver process, ensuring successful outcomes for our clients. 

Legal Department Staff

Our in-house legal department provides the necessary support for the full range of contracts, J-1 waiver applications, and other matters vital to the operation and success of Family Practice. Legal secretaries and paralegals experienced in contracts, employment law, and immigration law are crucial members of the Family Practice team.

Recruiters

Encouraging physician participation in Family Practice programs is the job of our staff recruiters. Our recruiters maintain regular contact with residency programs to reach new physicians and promote our programs and services throughout the medical community.

If you are interested in becoming a part of our Family Practice team, please contact our Human Resources Manager.

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS

MSR Program

Medical Student Representatives (MSRs) work as Independent Contractors to assist Family Practice with our physician outreach and referral efforts. This is not a sales position. There are no specific time requirements or schedules for MSRs, and in general they are able to meet their objectives while conducting the normal activities of a medical student on clinical rotations. Family Practice supplies all printed materials, such as posters or brochures, that are needed to assist the MSRs in helping new physicians become aware of the tools and services available through Family Practice. MSRs are compensated via "finders fees" whenever a physician they refer accepts a position through any of our programs or services. If you would like to participate in the MSR program, please review the Application Instructions.

Locum Tenens

While the majority of our clients are seeking physicians to fill a permanent, full-time need, many of our clients also require physicians to assist during shorter term staff shortages. To assist these clients, Family Practice has established a Locum Tenens program. This program is beneficial both to our clients, who require physicians for shorter-term assignments, and to physicians interested in experiencing a variety of practice settings in diverse areas of the country. By providing them with a single, stable employer, physicians are assured employment continuity and clerical support. If you are interested in becoming a Family Practice Locum Tenens Physician, please complete a Physician Profile.
