Physician

Description
Pediatrician – Founding Physician
New Pediatric Practice (De Novo) | Pittsboro, North Carolina
Location: Pittsboro, North Carolina
Employment Type: Full-Time
Practice Status: New Practice (Aligned with the Right Provider and Location)

Summary
Build with intention in one of the Triangle’s fastest-growing areas.

Build Something New — Where It’s Truly Needed
We are exploring the launch of a new pediatric practice in Pittsboro and are seeking a pediatrician who wants more than a traditional associate role.

This is a rare opportunity to help build a practice from the ground up in a community with growing demand for accessible, high-quality pediatric care.

This is a provider-led expansion with flexibility around timing and location to ensure the right long-term fit.
From day one, you will play a meaningful role in shaping the clinical experience, care model, and community relationships of a practice built to last.

Why Pittsboro?
Pittsboro sits in one of the fastest-growing pockets of the Triangle, with a blend of thoughtful development and preserved community identity.
Located near Chapel Hill, Durham, and Raleigh
Significant residential growth, including new planned communities
Increasing demand for outpatient pediatric access
Access to top-tier health systems and universities
This is an opportunity to build a practice in a high-growth corridor where the population is expanding faster than access to pediatric care.

The Role
· Provide comprehensive pediatric care to infants, children, and adolescents
· Build long-term, trusted relationships with families
· Help shape clinic workflows, culture, and patient experience
· Participate in community outreach and local partnerships
· Collaborate closely with medical and operational leadership

Qualifications
· Board Certified or Board Eligible in Pediatrics
· Eligible for state medical licensure
· DEA license (or ability to obtain)
· Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset
· Interest in community engagement and practice-building

Compensation & Support
· Highly competitive compensation package
· Health, dental, and vision insurance
· Generous paid time off and holidays
· Malpractice coverage
· Full operational and administrative support

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is not a replacement role. It is a chance to be a founding physician in a thoughtfully designed pediatric practice serving a community with real demand.
