Build Something New — Where It’s Truly Needed

We are exploring the launch of a new pediatric practice in Shelbyville 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 Shelbyville?

Shelbyville presents a compelling opportunity to serve a growing community with a clear need for pediatric access.

· Located south of Nashville with continued population growth

· Underserved pediatric landscape with room for practice development

· Family-oriented community with strong local ties

· More affordable cost of living compared to surrounding regions

This is an ideal setting for a physician who wants to build lasting patient relationships and be deeply embedded in the community.

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.
