You’ll love the Southwest. Why not love your career, too?

Want to join an exceptional organization? If you value quality, go above and beyond in making patients a priority and want to help cultivate a positive, healthy, work environment, we want to talk to you. We are focused on assembling an outstanding team who will work together to maintain our stellar reputation and build a strong brand for Northern Arizona Healthcare, as we expand our services.

We are seeking a patient-centric, academic physician to join our 16 resident physicians as the program medical director (50% Clinical, 50% Directorship).  This position is open to all subspecialties for physicians also boarded in Internal Medicine. You will be responsible for leading the development and implementation of the residency curriculum, overseeing resident training and evaluation, and ensuring compliance with accreditation standards. Your role will involve fostering a supportive learning environment, driving program improvements, and collaborating with medical staff and community partners.

Our Residency Program:

Our three-year Internal Medicine Residency program, the result of a partnership between Verde Valley Medical Center and Midwestern University, is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Our program began in 2010 with four residents.  We expanded to 12 residents (four per year) in 2013, are currently at 16 residents and will be at 18 residents (six per year) by 2027.  The small size of the program, the camaraderie of the residents and the one-on-one time with supervising physicians make this a very attractive option to many candidates.

VVMC offers exposure to a wide variety of patient populations and pathologies.  Our weekly continuity clinics, electives and opportunities to perform research prepare residents to embark on successful, diverse career paths.  Above all, our focus is to give each resident an excellent, in-depth educational experience. Our residents have a 100 percent pass rate on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine (AOBIM) Board certification examinations.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of Internal Medicine and contribute to the growth of our healthcare community in the beautiful Verde Valley.
