Emergency Medicine Needed in Coastal Alaska

Were you thinking about something different? Something quieter... farther... a little off the edge of your comfort zone? Keep reading—this might not just catch your attention... it might shift your perspective on what’s possible.

What does it really mean to practice medicine where it matters most? At NHSC, about 72% of the 700+ employees are Alaska Native—deeply connected to the people, the culture, and the land they serve. This isn’t just a job; it’s medicine woven into community, purpose, and environment.

Now imagine doing that work in Nome, Alaska, along the Bering Sea. This full-time Emergency Medicine opportunity offers a rare balance—intensity and stillness. Work a 4-week on / 4-week off schedule with 12-hour shifts, 4 – 5 days a week. True time away when you are off. Space to reset, travel, or simply breathe.

The pace? Surprisingly manageable—fewer than 25 patients per 24 hours. The compensation? Strong—$183.75/hour (~$315K annually), plus a $30K sign-on bonus, relocation, CME, covered airfare, and housing provided at a reduced cost.

This role is open to EM, IM, or FP physicians with emergency experience who are comfortable stepping outside the typical and into something more meaningful—both professionally and personally.

It is not for everyone. But if part of you has ever wondered what else is out there, I’d be glad to connect. Email Kim Constantin, Sr Consultant at [email protected].
