Location: Coastal Delaware — the Delaware Beaches (Lewes / Sussex County), 83 miles from Philadelphia Employment Type: Full-Time, Emergency Medicine (BC/BE) Compensation: Top Compensation Package in the Mid-Atlantic / Full Details Shared in a Confidential Call Practice Model: Independent, physician-owned, democratic / 18 months to equal partnership with full voting rights Join one of the last true independent, democratic EM groups on the East Coast. This non-CMG, physician-owned group has held the same hospital contract since 1998 and practices across two sites today — the hospital ED (Level III Trauma Center, one mile from the beach) and a freestanding ED in Millville — with a brand-new freestanding ED is under construction in Delaware's fastest-growing zip code, targeted to open in 2027. Combined annual volume exceeds 65,000 visits. Why This Emergency Medicine Physician Job Stands Out Partners never leave this group — we typically hire just one physician a year, and this expansion is the rare exception. The partnership track is 18 months, among the shortest in independent emergency medicine, and it ends in equal ownership with a full vote. When you make partner, your productivity compensation roughly doubles per RVU and the least productive owner out-earns the highest-producing non-partner. If you want ownership, a sane clinical pace, and a beach town to come home to, this practice is built for you. * Physicians rotate across all sites with even RVU distribution — no cherry-picking of busier locations * Dedicated nocturnists take their shifts first; remaining nights, weekends, and holidays are shared equally * Shift length: 10 hours at the hospital, 12 hours at the freestanding EDs; ~14 shifts/month * Patient volume: ~1.5 patients per hour on average * Co-staffed with an experienced, long-tenured PA team * Structured onboarding: Residents receive 6-9 months of double coverage before independent freestanding-ED shifts * EHR: Epic across every site, with Dragon dictation and AI clinical tools in daily use Emergency Medicine Physician Salary request one and we'll walk you through the real math, including what changes at partnership. Is this a CMG or hospital-employed position? Neither. This is an independent, physician-owned, democratic emergency medicine group that has held the same hospital contract since 1998. How long is the partnership track? 18 months to equal partnership with full voting rights — among the shortest defined tracks in independent emergency medicine. The buy-in is reduced and spread across the track, and productivity compensation roughly doubles per RVU at partnership. What is the schedule? About 14 shifts per month — 10-hour shifts at the hospital and 12-hour shifts at the freestanding EDs. Dedicated nocturnists take their shifts first; remaining nights, weekends, and holidays are shared equally. When does the new emergency department open? The New Campus freestanding ED has been under construction and is targeted to open in 2027. Are graduating residents eligible? Yes — 2027 emergency medicine residency graduates are encouraged to apply. New resident physicians receive 6-9 months of structured, double-coverage onboarding before independent freestanding-ED shifts. #EM *hec*
