                                                                                   Sherwood, Arkansas

Sherwood Family Medical Center (SFMC), in conjunction with Baptist Health and Arkansas Health Group (AHG), is seeking a Pediatrician to join an established group of four Pediatricians and six Family Medicine physicians. The recruitment need is due to the unanticipated departure of one of the pediatricians. The new physician will assume their patients and will continue to grow the practice by accepting new patients and newborns from Sherwood and the surrounding communities.

SFMC Pediatricians see an average of 5,200 annual visits or 20 patients per day. 

In the clinic, each Pediatrician has a dedicated nurse to address patient needs as well as a pool of nurses to room patients. There are behavioral health specialists that work at the clinic site so that support is readily available for patients when needed. The clinic also has a pediatric nurse who functions as a care coordinator, vaccine expert, and a referral specialist to assist with scheduling patients for specialty consults. There is x-ray and lab in house.

This position is employed with Arkansas Health Group, the employed physician group for Baptist Health, and offers a base salary, opportunity for incentive compensation, retirement, healthcare, and other benefits. 

Sherwood is a community of 33,000 people located just a few miles north of Little Rock. Sherwood offers a hometown atmosphere while conveniently located to the entertainment and amenities of a larger metropolitan area.
