At NHSC, about 72% of the 700+ employees are Alaska Native--deeply connected to the people, the culture, and the land they serve.

This full-time Emergency Medicine opportunity offers a rare balance--intensity and stillness. Work a 4-week on / 4-week off schedule with 12-hour shifts, 4 - 5 days a week.
