Located just a short ferry ride from Portland, Peaks Island is home to approximately 800 year-round residents and a thriving seasonal community. The clinic serves as a critical healthcare resource for island residents, many of whom face transportation barriers and rely heavily on local primary care services. As the community continues to age and patient complexity increases, we are seeking a physician who values continuity, community-based care, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact.

Build long-term relationships with patients in a highly connected community setting
Academic and Teaching Opportunities
As part of MaineHealth Family Medicine, this position offers the opportunity to participate in the education of Family Medicine residents and medical students.

Teaching opportunities may include:
Precepting Family Medicine residents
Mentoring medical students
Participating in MaineHealth's academic and educational initiatives
Contributing to the development of innovative rural and community-based training experiences
The Ideal Candidate
We are seeking a physician who:
Is Board Certified or Board Eligible in Family Medicine
Enjoys practicing full-spectrum outpatient primary care
Values continuity and relationship-centered medicine

Has an interest in teaching and mentoring learners

Why Peaks Island?
This position offers a rare opportunity to practice medicine in a setting where primary care truly makes a difference. The island's geographic isolation creates a strong reliance on local healthcare services, allowing physicians to provide comprehensive, meaningful care while developing deep connections with patients and families.
Residents benefit from having a trusted physician close to home, reducing the burden of travel to the mainland for routine and chronic care needs. In return, physicians enjoy a highly rewarding practice environment, strong community relationships, and a pace of practice that emphasizes quality, continuity, and patient-centered care.
