In service to Essentia Health’s mission, our team strives to provide the highest quality emergency care in a mix of urban and rural environments with our hub-and-spoke care model. In this, you will enjoy variety in your practice working shifts in Duluth and at a subset of our six regional EDs, with flexible scheduling among teammates. We offer very competitive compensation and benefits. With a low turnover rate, our team currently includes physicians at all stages of their careers who maintain strong ties within our lakeshore community. We are strongly supported and heard by our leadership, with EM docs at all levels of Essentia’s leadership structure.
