UW Medicine Primary Care, in conjunction with the Division of General Internal Medicine, is seeking an Internal Medicine Primary Care Physician. This opening is for a full-time Primary Care practice at our Kent/Des Moines clinic, south of Seattle.

UW Medicine has a single mission:
To improve the health of the public. The 30,000 members of our community advance this mission through the excellence of their work in patient care, medical education and research.

UW Medicine Primary Care offers a complete spectrum of primary and urgent care services, strong connections to specialists throughout the Seattle area, and are committed to improving the health of the public. The providers are actively engaged in teaching and providing outstanding care.

We prioritize unique and comprehensive care delivery to serve the needs of our patients, including behavioral health, care management, lab and radiology, and a fully integrated electronic medical record. Through our affiliation with the world‑class University of Washington School of Medicine and the top ranked primary care training program in the United States, our employees have the distinct advantage to provide our patients with an exceptionally high level of innovative care.

Candidates must be Board Certified or Board Eligible. The successful candidate will be appointed as a Clinical Instructor through the UW School of Medicine.

We provide competitive compensation, outstanding benefits, and a commitment to work‑life balance. Clinical Instructors hold annual appointments that align with a 12‑month service period (July 1 – June 30) and may be reappointed to subsequent annual terms. Faculty with 12‑month service periods are paid for 11 months of service over a 12‑month period (July – June), meaning the equivalent of one month is available for paid time off.

In addition to providing primary care, this role will include some clinical teaching responsibilities.

Base salary for this position will be $18,423 per month ($221,076 per annum) commensurate with experience and qualifications, or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage determination. Please note that only compensation provided by the University is included in University benefit determination and calculations. Compensation provided by UW Physicians (UWP) provides eligibility for separate benefits offered by that organization.

Other compensation associated with this position includes a minimum guaranteed incentive for the first two years of $13,000 per quarter ($52,000 per annum) through UW Physicians. The incentive is based on both production and quality metrics, with guaranteed incentive pay being based on achieving up to the 45th percentile of production during the period of record; should the provider exceed this level of production, they will receive the higher productivity earned incentive instead.

Candidates must have earned an MD or DO, or foreign equivalent, completed residency, and should be board certified or board eligible in Internal Medicine. Candidates will need to possess or obtain a valid Washington State medical license and DEA cert.
