,Physician (Family Medicine / Internal Medicine): Part-Time and Full-Time
Lead a Teaching Practice at Aayu Clinics
You've completed your training. You understand primary care complexity. Now comes the most important decision: where will you practice?
Will you join a high-volume mill designed to extract maximum productivity? Or will you build something meaningful—a practice grounded in ethics, evidence, and genuine patient care where your expertise shapes the next generation of physicians?
The Opportunity: Primary Care Leadership with Teaching at Its Core
Aayu Clinics is recruiting physicians (Family Medicine or Internal Medicine) who are passionate about:
- Evidence-based primary care that prioritizes patient outcomes over patient volume
- Teaching and mentorship of advanced practice providers, residents, and medical students
- Ethical practice where clinical judgment drives decisions, not profit margins
- Work-life integration that honors your personal life while delivering exceptional care
- Building a legacy through education and clinical excellence
Whether you're a recent residency graduate seeking to establish yourself, an established physician wanting to teach, or a clinician burned out by productivity-driven environments—this role is designed for you.
Why Teaching Matters at Aayu Clinics
Primary care is drowning. Physicians are overwhelmed. Medical students are disillusioned. Residents graduate unprepared for independent practice.
We're building an antidote.
At Aayu Clinics, teaching isn't an afterthought—it's foundational. Your clinical expertise directly shapes the next generation of primary care providers. When you mentor a PA or NP, you're not just training a practitioner; you're influencing how they'll practice medicine for decades.
This is how we fix primary care.
Your Teaching Role
As a primary care physician at Aayu, you'll:
- Mentor advanced practice providers (PAs, NPs) in evidence-based primary care decision-making
- Supervise and guide medical students and residents rotating through your clinic
- Model excellent clinical reasoning through real patient care
- Teach diagnostic thinking and independent clinical judgment
- Demonstrate sustainable, ethical practice in action
- Influence practice standards ensuring evidence-based, thoughtful care
- Develop future leaders in primary care
You'll teach by example—showing trainees how to:
- Listen to patients thoughtfully, not rush through visits
- Think diagnostically and manage complexity
- Balance evidence with clinical judgment
- Maintain professional boundaries and personal wellness
- Practice with integrity in a for-profit system
This is leadership without the administrative burden of being medical director. You maintain clinical autonomy while multiplying your impact through mentorship.
What Makes Aayu Different:
Reasonable Patient Panels (Not High-Volume Factories)
Here's the uncomfortable truth: most primary care settings have become extraction operations. They push physicians to see 30-40 patients per day to maximize billing and minimize overhead. Why? Because their profit margins depend on your productivity. You rush through patient care. Diagnoses get missed. Patients suffer. Your liability increases.
These businesses make their money and move on. But you face the consequences. One missed diagnosis. One medication error. One patient complication—and suddenly you're in a lawsuit. Your malpractice insurance skyrockets. Your reputation suffers. Your joy in medicine evaporates.
This is not sustainable primary care. This is exploitation dressed up as efficiency.
At Aayu Clinics: When You Grow, We Grow
We've built our practice around a fundamentally different philosophy: your growth and your students' growth is our growth.
This isn't motivational language. It's how we operate.
When you develop deeper clinical expertise, you provide better care—and your patients thrive. When you mentor learners thoughtfully, you develop the next generation of ethical practitioners. When you teach by example, you influence how medicine gets practiced for decades. That's how Aayu grows.
We don't extract value from you. We invest in you and in education.
- Reasonable patient panels (not 30-40 daily patients) that allow for thoughtful diagnosis and genuine patient relationships
- Protected teaching time is built into your schedule for mentorship and education
- Continuous learning support including CME, conferences, and professional development
- No administrative burden of high-volume operations—your energy goes to patient care and teaching
- Meaningful supervision of trainees without being overwhelmed by volume
- No evening/weekend call, keeping your personal life yours while you provide excellent care
- Competitive compensation ($180K-$250K+ based on experience) with full-time or part-time flexibility
- A business structure where financial success comes from quality care and education, not from burning out talented clinicians
When you work at Aayu, there's no conflict of interest between your wellbeing, your teaching mission, and the organization's success. Your success is our success. We don't profit while you carry the burden.
High-volume clinics ask: "How many patients can we extract from this physician today?"
Aayu Clinics asks: "How can we develop this physician into an exceptional clinician-educator?"
The difference is everything.
The Reality: Teaching Takes Time
Let's be honest. Teaching doesn't happen in a rushed clinic where you're seeing 40 patients per day.
You can't teach when you're drowning. You can't mentor when you have 15 minutes between patients. You can't develop the next generation of physicians when you're focused on survival.
At Aayu:
- Your schedule allows time for teaching. This isn't squeezed in between frantic patient visits.
- Mentoring advanced practice providers is valued, not penalized as "lost productivity."
- Working with residents and students is built into your role, not treated as an imposition
- You can actually spend time with learners, discussing cases, exploring diagnostic thinking, modeling clinical reasoning
- Teaching advances your practice, not detracts from it
When your panel size is reasonable, and your schedule is protected, teaching becomes possible—and transformative.
Our Selection Process
We're looking for physicians who:
- Are committed to evidence-based, ethical primary care
- Are passionate about mentorship and education
- Understand that quality comes before quantity in patient care
- Value sustainable, long-term practice models
- Want to build something meaningful while influencing the next generation
- Believe primary care should be intellectually stimulating and personally rewarding
We'll discuss:
- Your approach to primary care and clinical decision-making
- Your philosophy on teaching and mentorship
- How you define excellence in primary care
- Your experience with or interest in supervising trainees
- Your vision for sustainable practice
- What draws you to Aayu and our teaching-focused model
A Final Question: Are You Ready?
Primary care training taught you to think deeply about patients, to manage complexity, to balance multiple competing demands. Yet many physicians find themselves in practices that contradict everything they learned.
Before you apply, ask yourself:
Do you want to practice primary care the way you were trained to practice it? Can you commit to evidence-based, thoughtful care delivered at a sustainable pace? Are you ready to mentor the next generation of primary care providers? Are you hungry to build something meaningful—and to influence how medicine gets practiced for decades to come?
If the answer is yes—if you want to practice primary care with integrity, teach future clinicians, and actually enjoy your work—we want to meet you.

Why This Matters
Primary care is at a crossroads. Physicians are burned out. Patients aren't getting the care they need. Medical trainees are learning to practice under unsustainable conditions.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
At Aayu Clinics, we're building an alternative. A practice where physicians mentor future providers. Where evidence guides decisions. Where patient care matters more than patient volume. Where you can actually enjoy practicing medicine. Where you can influence the next generation.
We need thoughtful, passionate physicians to help us do this.
