Physician Partnership Track

Leading Physician-Owned Multispecialty Group | Department of Anesthesia

Wenatchee, North Central Washington
• Full-Time, Permanent
• Equally Shared Call
• On-Site (Relocation Required & Supported)

Our client — a physician-owned, multispecialty medical group affiliated with the only integrated health system serving a 12,000-square-mile region of North Central Washington, and a Silver-level honoree of the American Medical Association’s Joy in Medicine program for measurable work to reduce physician burnout — is seeking a board-certified or board-eligible anesthesiologist to join an established, collegial anesthesia practice. You will deliver anesthesia across a genuinely diverse case mix — general surgery, orthopedics, ENT, ophthalmology, podiatry, vascular, interventional, OB/GYN, neurosurgery and trauma — with the opportunity, not the obligation, to take on cardiac cases alongside a dedicated subgroup of partners.

Physicians here do their own cases and do not supervise CRNAs, so your day is spent practicing medicine at the head of the bed, not managing a coverage matrix.
You will function as a valued, decision-making member of a physician-led team — not as an isolated provider buried under paperwork or another organization’s productivity targets.

Why This Role Is Different

• True Clinical Autonomy
  — You perform your own cases and never supervise CRNAs. Research on attending anesthesiologists found that feeling unsupported at work was the single strongest predictor of burnout — by a wide margin. Here, the practice model is designed around your clinical hands, not a supervision ratio.
• A Caseload That Keeps You Sharp
  — A broad subspecialty mix from trauma and neuro to OB and vascular keeps the work varied and engaging — with an optional path into cardiac alongside experienced partners. No fellowship is required to join.
• A Real Seat at the Table
  — This is a physician-owned group with physician leaders and decision-makers at every level and a one-year partnership track. Nationally, barely half of physicians say they feel valued by their organization; here your influence over the practice is structural, not symbolic.
• Equitably Shared Call
  — Call is divided equally among the physicians in the department — no lopsided burden quietly handed to the newest hire, and no surprise coverage built on chronic short-staffing.
• Protected Time to Actually Live
  — Up to 11 weeks of time off and a do-your-own-cases model with real boundaries — so recovery, family, and the outdoors aren’t theoretical perks but part of the job’s design.
• An Employer That Invests in Keeping You
  — Joy in Medicine recognition, fully employer-paid medical, dental and vision premiums for your whole family, and student-loan counseling for the life of your loans signal an organization that measures retention by wellbeing, not just RVUs.

Required

• MD or DO with a completed anesthesiology residency.
• Board-certified or board-eligible in anesthesiology.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active Washington State medical license.
• Willing and able to relocate to the Wenatchee, Washington area (relocation is required and generously supported).
• A genuine commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care and to your own work-life balance.

Preferred

• Interest or experience in cardiac anesthesia — training is welcomed, but fellowship is not required.
• Experience managing your own cases in a non-supervisory practice model.
• Comfort and confidence across a broad subspecialty case mix.
• A track record of collegial, team-based collaboration with surgeons and perioperative staff.
• Familiarity with a modern electronic health record (Epic).
