Emergency Medicine Physician - Lake Okeechobee, FL - $340K-$350K

$340,000-$350,000/year | Lake Okeechobee, Florida | Full Time, Direct Hire

The Opportunity

Practice emergency medicine in a 10‑bed facility where you'll actually know your team and your patients. This isn't a high‑volume mega‑ED where you're one of a rotating cast of dozens of providers. You'll work alongside APPs covering 11a‑8p shifts, built specifically for seamless patient handoffs rather than the chaotic transitions that wear physicians down elsewhere.

And when your shift ends, southern Florida is waiting: outdoor recreation, a close-knit community, and Florida's biggest cities still a reasonable drive away.

Why You'll Love This Role

• $340,000-$350,000 annually ($200/hour, 1099 independent contractor)
• Tax‑free Florida income
• 12‑hour shifts (7a-7p or 7p-7a) with flexible full‑time or part‑time scheduling available
• Malpractice and tail insurance provided
• Supportive, collaborative culture focused on high‑quality patient care
• APP collaboration with dedicated 11a-8p coverage for smoother patient transitions

Your Day-to-Day

• Deliver patient‑centered emergency care in a 10‑bed facility
• Perform emergency procedures and manage a diverse range of patient cases
• Collaborate directly with APPs to ensure continuity of care across shifts
• Work within a supportive team environment built around quality over volume

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of recent Emergency Medicine experience
• Board‑certified/board‑eligible in Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, or Internal Medicine with ED experience
• Florida Medical License or eligibility
• Required certifications: ATLS, ACLS, BLS, PALS
• Familiarity with Epower Doc EMR is a plus
• Patient‑focused, detail‑oriented, and collaborative approach to care

Why Candidates Say Yes

Physicians choosing this opportunity are drawn to the combination of strong, tax‑free compensation and a smaller, more manageable care setting where APP support is structured for real continuity rather than left to chance. The flexibility to shape a full‑time or part‑time schedule adds a layer of control that's hard to find in larger systems.
