Build Your Career in a Physician-Forward Environment at St. Luke’s Hospital

At St. Luke’s Hospital, we are more than just a healthcare system—we are a community of dedicated professionals committed to delivering exceptional, patient-centered care. As an independent, award-winning health system, we have been recognized nationally for our outstanding patient experience and unmatched quality of care. St. Luke’s Hospital for over a decade has been recognized for “Outstanding Patient Experience” by HealthGrades.

Position Summary:

Take Over a Thriving, Established Practice with One of St. Louis’ Premier Independent Health Systems

Opportunity to Transition into a Busy, Well-Established Primary Care Practice Following a Planned Physician Retirement

St. Luke’s Medical Group is seeking a Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Internal Medicine or Family Medicine physician to assume an established outpatient practice in one of St. Louis’ highly desirable suburban communities.

This unique opportunity offers something many physicians spend years building: an established patient base, strong community reputation, and a carefully planned transition period with a retiring physician. Rather than starting from scratch, you can step into a busy practice with the support and lead time needed to build relationships, ensure continuity of care, and create a seamless handoff for patients.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Established Practice with a Built-In Patient Panel

Join a successful, long-standing practice and benefit from a steady patient volume from day one. With a retiring physician's planned transition, you'll have the opportunity to become introduced to patients and the community before assuming full responsibility for the practice.

Meaningful Transition Period

Work alongside an experienced physician who is committed to ensuring continuity of care. The extended transition provides valuable time for patient introductions, relationship building, and a smooth transfer of care.

Quickly Build a Busy Schedule

Demand for primary care continues to grow throughout the region. Combined with an established patient base and strong referral relationships, physicians can expect to develop a robust practice quickly.

Physician-Led and Patient-Focused

As the only independent health system in the St. Louis region, St. Luke's empowers physicians with clinical autonomy while fostering a collaborative culture focused on exceptional patient care.

Lifestyle-Friendly Practice

• 100% outpatient primary care
• No evening call
• No weekend call
• No inpatient responsibilities

Built-In Referral Network

Benefit from direct access to a large network of specialists, urgent care centers, and hospital-based services, allowing you to focus on patient care while maintaining excellent continuity and coordination.

Education, Experience, & Licensing Requirements: 

Education: MD/DO

Experience: Team-oriented, patient-focused physician with a commitment to excellence. Strong communication skills

Licensure: BC/BE in Specialty, ACLS and BLS Certified, DEA License, and Missouri Board of Registration of the Healing Arts.

Benefits for a Better You:

·         Day one benefits package

·         Pension Plan & 401K

·         Competitive compensation

·         FSA & HSA options

·         PTO programs available

·         Education & Loan Assistance

·         Signing Bonus

·         Resident Stipend

·         CME Allowance & Time Off
