Exciting Opportunity at SSU!

Physician, 80% Time Base, #541985

Are you a physician (MD or DO) seeking a better work/life balance who is passionate about providing top-quality primary care medical services? Do you want sufficient time to build relationships with patients, focus on preventative care, and offer health education? Would you enjoy working with a diverse student body on a beautiful, dynamic college campus, with opportunities to engage in outreach and collaborate with campus partners?

Does If the idea of no on-call duties or long hours appeals to you, and you are interested in a 32-hour workweek (with the option for a 16-hour schedule), allowing you more time for family, friends, hobbies, and personal interests, this opportunity might be perfect. Additionally, you will enjoy vacation and holiday time off throughout the year.

Sonoma State University (SSU) is seeking a skilled physician to join our team at the Student Health Center (SHC) as we continue to develop and reinforce our culture of excellence. If you are looking for a fulfilling career with outstanding benefits, we encourage you to apply.
