Pediatrician – Founding Physician
New Pediatric Practice (De Novo) | Rocky Mount, North Carolina
Location: Rocky Mount, NC
Employment Type: Full-Time
Practice Status: New Practice Opening Soon
Build Something New — Where It’s Truly Needed
We are launching a brand-new pediatric practice in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, and 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 significant unmet pediatric demand. Families in and around Rocky Mount are actively seeking accessible, high-quality pediatric care—and this practice is being designed specifically to meet that need.
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 Rocky Mount?
Rocky Mount offers an appealing combination of professional opportunity and lifestyle flexibility:
-
Less than an hour from Raleigh and the Research Triangle
-
Less than two hours to North Carolina’s Crystal Coast beaches
-
Affordable housing and an easy commute
-
Strong community ties and a clear need for pediatric access
You get the impact and visibility of a smaller community—without giving up proximity to major metro amenities or coastal getaways.
The Role
As a founding physician, you’ll be central to establishing how care is delivered and experienced in this new practice.
What you’ll do:
-
Provide comprehensive pediatric care to infants, children, and adolescents
-
Build long-term, trusted relationships with families in the community
-
Help shape clinic workflows, culture, and patient experience
-
Participate in community outreach and local partnerships
-
Collaborate closely with medical and operational leadership as the practice grows
This role is ideal for a physician who values autonomy, purpose, and ownership—and wants to be part of something from the beginning.
Qualifications
-
Board Certified or Board Eligible in Pediatrics
-
Eligible for medical licensure in North Carolina
-
DEA license (or ability to obtain)
-
Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
-
Interest in community engagement and practice-building
Compensation & Support
-
Highly competitive compensation package
-
Anticipated eligibility for Federal loan repayment opportunities (up to $100,000), pending program approval and site qualification
-
Anticipated eligibility for North Carolina Office of Rural Health incentives (up to $100,000), pending approval and program requirements
-
Health, dental, and vision insurance
-
Generous paid time off and holidays
-
Malpractice coverage
-
Full operational and administrative support so you can stay focused on patient care
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is not a replacement role or a saturated market. It’s a chance to:
-
Be a founding physician in a thoughtfully designed pediatric practice
-
Serve a community with real demand and immediate need
-
Enjoy proximity to Raleigh and the coast while maintaining a manageable cost of living
-
Build something meaningful—with room for leadership and long-term growth
