- Smaller patient panel (less than half the traditional PCP panel size)

ABOUT THE JOB
You will provide patient-centered primary care, to employees at assigned Marathon Health Centers through an Employer-Sponsored Direct Primary Care. This is an exciting opportunity for a primary care career where you can truly have it all: a smaller panel where you spend as much time as you want with your patients... without financial risk. Welcome to Marathon Health™, the leader in bringing this transformative model to healthcare!
Our Employer-Sponsored Direct Primary Care model offers many benefits to both providers and their patients:
- Enhanced Relationships: Patient panels are limited to 800-1000 patients, and patient-centered medicine in a capitated-fee environment allows providers to have individual patient visits without time restrictions. Appointments of 30-60 minutes allow extra time for the care team to spend with patients.
- Aligned Incentives: Our providers focus on improving health outcomes, driving patient engagement, and creating an atmosphere where patients are highly satisfied with high touch service from their care team. We remove the distorted fee-for-service incentives – all care provided by providers is included in our monthly membership fee (paid for by the employer).
- Focus on Preventive Care: We facilitate an environment which provides providers with the opportunity to proactively work with patients to prevent diseases and injuries by making lifestyle changes prior to diagnosis. Our providers provide health care, not sick care.
- Flexible Practice Approach with Improved Quality of Life for You and Your Family: Our providers enjoy an insurance-free work environment, as we rarely bill insurance, alleviating hours of paperwork and increasing the time to focus on patient care. Our providers are no longer chained to a physical office environment to interact with patients. By leveraging technology, providers can consult with their patients and provide access in the way we all live and work today – through our mobile phones and secure email access.
- Improved Medical Model: Our Employer-Sponsored Medical Home model utilizes electronic medical records and rigorous population management tools to assist our clinical teams in providing state of the art care. Dedication to quality, clinical outcomes and service experience for patients is truly the focus.
- Collaborative Oversight: Our Physicians demonstrate a commitment to interdisciplinary teamwork and actively collaborate with at least two or more Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) within the organization.

Family Physician Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a family physician in Colorado?
To practice as a family physician in Colorado, you must hold an active medical license issued by the Colorado Medical Board, which requires completing an accredited medical school, finishing a three-year family medicine residency, and passing USMLE or COMLEX board exams. Board certification through the American Board of Family Medicine is required or expected by most Colorado employers and must be maintained through periodic recertification.
How much do family physicians make in Colorado?
Family physicians in Colorado earn a median of about $265,560 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $75,120 for the lowest 10% to over $365,820 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire family physicians in Colorado?
Colorado family physician roles are posted by Intermountain Health, Alpine Physician Partners, and CommonSpirit Health and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Colorado's large integrated health systems, federally qualified health centers, and rural health networks across the Eastern Plains and mountain regions are among the most consistent sources of family physician openings statewide.
Which Colorado cities have the most family physician jobs?
Denver, Colorado Springs, and Aurora have the most family physician openings in Colorado. Denver drives the highest volume through its concentration of large health systems and specialty clinics, while Colorado Springs and Fort Collins benefit from growing suburban populations and regional medical centers that rely heavily on primary care family physicians to manage patient access.
Are there remote family physician jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. About 44% of family physician openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most clinical practice. The roles most likely to carry a remote component are telephonic urgent care, direct primary care concierge models, and administrative or medical director positions that pair clinical oversight with non-patient-facing duties.
How can I get hired as a family physician in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly out of residency to new-grad hospitalist or outpatient associate programs run by Colorado health systems such as UCHealth and SCL Health, both of which recruit graduating residents each spring. Federally qualified health centers across Colorado's rural counties regularly hire early-career physicians and offer loan repayment through National Health Service Corps designations. Completing a Colorado residency or rural rotation placement also builds relationships with local medical directors who influence hiring decisions.
