Wage Range for Pediatric Physicians: $106-125/hr

SCHC maintains three full-time family medicine practitioners (Internal Medicine Physician, Physician Assistant. and Nurse Practitioner). We are seeking a pediatric specialist to visit our clinic 2-4 days a month to focus on kids with higher acuity needs (e.g., Type I diabetes, autoimmune diseases, severe allergies). Having monthly pediatric access could keep these families from having to make more frequent trips to Anchorage or Soldotna to get the care they need.

This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the best Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park have to offer. Seward offers year-round opportunities for outdoor activities including skiing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking, boating, wildlife viewing, and so much more. If you enjoy adventuring up mountains, between glaciers and in waters, or sightseeing, going on wildlife tours or bird watching, Seward is the place for you!

Seward Community Health Center (SCHC) is a federally qualified health center. We welcome anyone in need of quality, affordable healthcare by providing integrated, patient-centered primary care for a variety of illnesses and conditions for the entire family. SCHC is the leading provider of healthcare services in the Eastern Kenai Peninsula, with passionate, dedicated staff who work daily to help increase access to services for our community members.  We are seeking to hire additional staff who will add to our ability to make our community and SCHC a better place to live and work.
