About This Role
Positioned along the scenic Monterey Bay, this full-time role serves a high-volume walk-in clinic within a decorated regional hospital system. You will manage a steady flow of approximately four patients per hour, addressing acute injuries and illnesses in a fast-paced community setting. The schedule prioritizes work-life balance through a three-day workweek, consisting of 12-hour shifts from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. This allows for four days off each week to inhabit a region famous for its coastal recreation and world-class golf. Experienced practitioners who thrive in autonomous, high-efficiency environments will find this a lucrative fit. The financial package is a significant draw, featuring a $325,000 base salary supplemented by productivity bonuses and a $50,000 recruitment incentive for relocation and signing. Beyond the immediate pay, the role includes six weeks of paid time off and comprehensive malpractice coverage with tail. If you are a clinician looking to trade a standard five-day grind for a concentrated schedule in a top-tier California vacation destination, this position offers the necessary financial and lifestyle scaffolding.
