You’ll also lead emergency response team training, maintain medical records, and ensure readiness of equipment and supplies—all while collaborating with offsite physician support in Anchorage. This role is ideal for a proactive, adaptable clinician who thrives in remote settings and values autonomy, leadership, and making a real impact.
