This is a rare opportunity to help build a practice from the ground up in a community with growing demand for accessible, high-quality pediatric care. This is a provider-led expansion with flexibility around timing and location to ensure the right long-term fit. From day one, you will play a meaningful role in shaping the clinical experience, care model, and community relationships of a practice built to last. Why Shelbyville? Shelbyville presents a compelling opportunity to serve a growing community with a clear need for pediatric access.

  • Provide comprehensive pediatric care to infants, children, and adolescents
  • Build long-term, trusted relationships with families
  • Help shape clinic workflows, culture, and patient experience
  • Participate in community outreach and local partnerships
  • Collaborate closely with medical and operational leadership Qualifications
