Emergency Medicine Physician - Lake Okeechobee, FL

$340,000-$350,000/year | Lake Okeechobee, Florida | Full Time, Direct Hire

Practice emergency medicine in a 10‑bed facility where you'll actually know your team and your patients. This isn't a high‑volume mega‑ED where you're one of a rotating cast of dozens of providers. You'll work alongside APPs covering 11a‑8p shifts, built specifically for seamless patient handoffs rather than the chaotic transitions that wear physicians down elsewhere.

And when your shift ends, southern Florida is waiting: outdoor recreation, a close-knit community, and Florida's biggest cities still a reasonable drive away.

Physicians choosing this opportunity are drawn to the combination of strong, tax‑free compensation and a smaller, more manageable care setting where APP support is structured for real continuity rather than left to chance. The flexibility to shape a full‑time or part‑time schedule adds a layer of control that's hard to find in larger systems.
