A nationally backed physician services organization is recruiting a Post-Acute Care Medical Director for a skilled nursing facility (SNF) in Laurinburg, NC. This is a full-time, employed W-2 leadership role that combines hands-on attending clinical work with formal medical directorship responsibilities under CMS F-Tag 841. The position offers a clearly defined leadership advancement pathway — from Facility Medical Director through Regional Medical Director to CMO — within one of the country's largest physician services platforms. For a clinician ready to step into or deepen an administrative leadership role without leaving direct patient care, this is a substantive opportunity in a low-cost, unhurried southern North Carolina community.
