Career paths

Adventist Health offers multiple employment models to accommodate every provider.

Employed Model

Corporate Practice of Medicine Doctrine in California requires physicians to be employed by a physician based entity. Adventist Heath contracts with professional corporations to provide care in the California communities in which we serve. This path gives providers a chance to concentrate more on their patients and less on running a business. Benefits of this model include:

  • Being a part of a faith based group that shares the same mission, vision and values as Adventist Health
  • Opportunities throughout multiple settings and locations
  • Benefits such as Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K, CME, Malpractice insurance for eligible providers and their families.
  • Design that encourages efficient use of resources and self-responsibility to provide the secure coverage for high cost occurrences.
  • Administrative and clinical support

Our facilities in Oregon and Hawaii are able to directly employ physicians and offer the same benefits packages as all other hospital employees in those areas.

Independent Model

Adventist Health offers physicians an opportunity to join community practices within an area we serve. Physicians who choose this model usually enjoy both the medical and business side of a practice setting. Benefits of practicing independently include:

  • Exposure to all aspects of a business operation
  • Flexibility to adjust your own work/life balance since you are running the practice yourself.
  • Ability to join an established practice or start your own!
