Job Description
Family Medicine Physician Opportunity | South County, Missouri
Lead. Collaborate. Build Something Meaningful.
BJC Medical Group is seeking Family Medicine Physicians to join a growing outpatient practice in South County, Missouri.
This opportunity is ideal for physicians who value autonomy, leadership, and team-based care. Rather than stepping into a fully established physician group, you'll have the unique chance to help shape the future of a growing practice while working alongside an experienced Advanced Practice Provider (APP). As patient demand continues to grow, we are expanding the team with two physicians and an additional APP.
If you're energized by the opportunity to influence practice culture, support APP colleagues, and build a thriving primary care destination for the community, we'd love to connect with you.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Shape the Future of the Practice
- Join at a pivotal stage of growth and expansion
- Help define clinical workflows, practice culture, and patient care strategies
- Have a meaningful voice in how the practice evolves
- Opportunity to build your patient panel from day one
Physician Leadership Without Administrative Burden
- Serve as a clinical leader within the practice
- Collaborate closely with APPs while practicing at the top of your license
- Influence quality initiatives and patient care delivery
- Receive organizational support from one of the region's leading health systems
Team-Based Care That Works
- Work alongside an experienced APP who is already established in the practice
- Participate in a collaborative care model focused on delivering exceptional patient outcomes
- Share knowledge, mentor colleagues, and create an environment where every team member thrives
- Benefit from dedicated clinical and operational support
Outpatient Medicine with Balance
- 100% outpatient Family Medicine
- Focus on relationship-based patient care
- No inpatient responsibilities
- Predictable schedule designed to support work-life balance
Meet a Significant Community Need
- Strong demand for primary care services in South County
- Immediate opportunity to make an impact and develop a robust patient panel
- Build long-term relationships with patients and families across generations
Career Growth and Professional Fulfillment
- Opportunity to be part of a growing practice from the ground up
- Ideal for physicians who enjoy mentoring, collaborating, and helping teams succeed
- Your leadership and clinical expertise will directly influence the success of the practice
Qualifications
- MD or DO
- Board Certified or Board Eligible in Family Medicine
- Eligible for Missouri medical licensure
- Passion for patient-centered care and collaborative practice
- Interest in physician leadership and practice growth
Why South County?
South County offers the convenience of suburban living with easy access to the amenities of the St. Louis region. Enjoy excellent neighborhoods, top schools, abundant parks and recreation, diverse dining options, and a welcoming community that values strong primary care physicians.

Family Physician Jobs in Missouri: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a family physician in Missouri?
You become a family physician in Missouri by earning an MD or DO degree, completing an accredited family medicine residency, and obtaining a full medical license through the Missouri State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts. Board certification through the American Board of Family Medicine strengthens your application. Missouri also requires a separate controlled substance registration for physicians who prescribe scheduled medications.
How much do family physicians make in Missouri?
Family physicians in Missouri earn a median of about $171,180 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $69,590 for the lowest 10% to over $428,550 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire family physicians in Missouri?
Employers hiring family physicians in Missouri right now include SSM Health, Mercy, and BJC HealthCare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Missouri's largest integrated health systems, including those with rural and community health center affiliates, tend to post the highest and most consistent volume of openings.
Which Missouri cities have the most family physician jobs?
St. Louis, Troy, and Arnold have the most family physician openings in Missouri. Kansas City and St. Louis drive the largest share of postings given their concentration of major health systems and academic medical centers, while Springfield's presence as a regional hub for southern Missouri and the Ozarks sustains strong demand from systems like Mercy and CoxHealth.
Are there remote family physician jobs in Missouri?
Yes, but they're rare. Family medicine is a hands-on, in-person specialty, so most roles require on-site patient care. About 10% of family physician openings tied to Missouri are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are almost exclusively in telemedicine, utilization review, or population health management rather than direct outpatient practice.
How can I get hired as a family physician in Missouri with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a residency-completing new-graduate position through one of Missouri's large health systems, which regularly recruit graduating residents into employed physician roles. SSM Health, BJC HealthCare, and Mercy Health all run new-physician onboarding programs. Federally qualified health centers across rural Missouri also hire physicians immediately out of residency. Board eligibility at graduation, a Missouri license in process, and experience with electronic health records give candidates a clear edge.
Where can I find and apply to family physician jobs in Missouri?
You can find and apply to family physician jobs in Missouri on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings, find the roles that match your background and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
