Family Medicine | 4-Day Week | $330K Base + $200K Incentives | Minnesota Lakes Country

Job Description

What if you could see just 12–15 patients a day, work a 4-day week, and build a Family Medicine practice around the type of medicine you actually enjoy? 

This Minnesota opportunity offers something increasingly difficult to find in Family Medicine: excellent compensation, a genuinely manageable schedule, low patient volumes, and the flexibility to design your own clinical scope. 

 
Join a well-supported, outpatient-focused practice in the heart of Minnesota’s Lakes Country. Physicians average just 12–15 patients per day with a 4-day workweek and 32 patient-contact hours. Dedicated clinical support, RN triage, care coordination, integrated behavioral health, and hospitalist coverage allow you to focus on your patients rather than unnecessary administrative or inpatient responsibilities. 

 

Want a straightforward outpatient practice? You can have it. Prefer broader-spectrum Family Medicine? OB, inpatient medicine, ER shifts and procedures can be incorporated if desired—not required. 

 

Add a $330K base salary, wRVU upside, $200K recruitment and retention incentive package, loan repayment eligibility, generous CME and comprehensive benefits, and this becomes an opportunity designed for both professional satisfaction and long-term sustainability.
