Broad Spectrum Rural Family Physican

Teton Valley Health is seeking a Broad-Spectrum Rural Family Physician (without OB) to join our physician team in Driggs, Idaho. This position offers the opportunity to practice rural medicine in a collaborative critical access hospital while serving a close-knit mountain community. Physicians in this role care for patients in both inpatient and outpatient clinic settings, without obstetric or emergency room responsibilities.

POSITION OVERVIEW

This position follows a mixed rural practice model, supporting both hospital and clinic services. In the current staffing structure, physicians provide 7 days of hospital coverage followed by 7 days off, ensuring consistent inpatient care and availability to support other service lines. During times of lower inpatient census, physicians may offer limited same-day acute care clinic appointments, helping expand access for community members while maintaining hospital coverage as the top priority.

As the physician team grows, the practice will transition to a traditional rural mixed model with approximately three weeks of outpatient clinic and one week of hospital coverage. This structure supports continuity of care while maintaining strong inpatient coverage for the hospital.

CLINICAL OVERVIEW

Physicians in this role practice full-spectrum family medicine, including:

 Comprehensive outpatient primary care for adults and children

 Preventive care and chronic disease management

 Same-day acute care visits when hospital coverage allows

 Inpatient rounding and hospital admissions

 Collaboration with emergency, surgical, and specialty services

 Hospital follow-up care and care coordination

Opportunities may exist to incorporate additional services based on physician training and interest, such as women’s health, procedural care, etc.
