Hire a Primary Care Physician in New York β€” Without the $49,000+ Agency Fee

Rural upstate New York counties carry real primary care gaps, even as New York City remains one of the most competitive physician markets in the country. New York grants experienced NPs full practice authority, which makes an incoming primary care physician's role less about anchoring an NP team and more about building out core coverage directly. MDdocjobs gives you direct access to 2,163+ registered physicians and APPs for $199 per posting. No agency. No commission. No middleman.

Why This Matters for PCP Hiring
Primary Care Is Still the Core of Every New York Care Team
New York grants full practice authority to experienced NPs, so New York care teams are often built with physicians and independently practicing NPs working alongside each other rather than under a formal supervision structure. That makes filling primary care physician seats directly β€” rather than treating them as an NP-team anchor β€” the more common New York hiring pattern.
🩺
Direct PCP Coverage, Not Just Team-Building

Because experienced NPs in New York can practice independently, primary care physician hires are usually about filling direct patient-care capacity rather than unlocking an APP team.

🌾
Upstate Counties Need You Most

Rural upstate New York counties carry some of the widest primary care gaps in the state, and often compete against far better-resourced NYC-area systems willing to pay steep agency fees.

πŸŽ“
Loan Repayment as a Recruiting Angle

NHSC and New York State loan repayment programs exist for physicians willing to serve underserved counties β€” a strong hook to include directly in your MDdocjobs posting.

πŸ‘₯
Early-Career NP Supervision Still Applies

NPs under 3,600 supervised practice hours still need to complete that requirement under a physician or experienced NP β€” a hiring pattern worth keeping in mind if you're building out a newer team.

πŸ™οΈ
Deep Candidate Pool

New York's density of academic medical centers and hospital systems means a large, active pool of primary care physicians to draw from statewide.

πŸ’°
$199 vs. $49,000+

Traditional New York staffing agencies charge 20–25% of first-year salary for a PCP placement. MDdocjobs charges $199 per posting. No commission, ever.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does New York's full practice authority for NPs change how I should hire primary care physicians?
Yes, somewhat. Since experienced New York NPs can practice independently, primary care physician hires are less about anchoring a supervised APP team and more about direct patient-care coverage. That said, early-career NPs still completing their 3,600 supervised practice hours do need a collaborating physician or experienced NP, so physician hiring still matters for newer teams.
Can MDdocjobs help me staff HPSA-designated primary care positions in New York?
Yes β€” this is a specific strength of MDdocjobs for New York. The database includes IMG physicians on J-1 waivers and NHSC-eligible physicians actively seeking HPSA-designated positions across rural upstate New York. Post your position with explicit shortage area, NHSC loan repayment, and Conrad 30 J-1 waiver language to reach this highly motivated candidate pool directly.
Is there a commission when I hire a primary care physician through MDdocjobs?
Never. MDdocjobs charges $199 per job posting β€” nothing more. Zero placement fee. Zero commission on hire. New York physician staffing agencies charge 20–25% of first-year salary; MDdocjobs is $199.
Does MDdocjobs support visa-sponsored primary care hiring in New York?
Yes β€” postings support H-1B and Conrad 30 J-1 waiver sponsorship language, which is especially valuable for rural and shortage-designated upstate New York counties.
Can I use MDdocjobs for ongoing primary care hiring, not just a single opening?
