MDHire a Primary Care Physician in Pennsylvania — Without the $47,600+ Agency Fee
Rural Appalachian and central Pennsylvania counties carry real primary care gaps, even as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh remain some of the most competitive physician markets in the country. Pennsylvania is a reduced-practice state for NPs, meaning CRNPs must maintain a Collaborative Agreement with a physician — so a primary care physician hire can anchor an entire growing care team. MDdocjobs gives you direct access to 2,163+ registered physicians and APPs for $199 per posting. No agency. No commission. No middleman.
