Primary Care & Lifestyle Medicine Physician
Internal Medicine or Family Medicine | Speck Health | Seattle, Washington
Speck Health is seeking a board-certified Internal Medicine or Family Medicine physician with a passion for lifestyle medicine to join our established, physician-led membership practice in Seattle, Washington.
The physician will assume a small, established adult primary care patient panel while developing lifestyle medicine consultations, education, and clinical programs that complement our preventive cardiology expertise.
Founded by Sarah M. Speck, MD, MPH, FACC, Speck Health integrates personalized primary care, preventive cardiology, and lifestyle medicine in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.
Our practice is built around two simple principles:
1. Medical care should be focused on preventing illness, not simply treating disease. We believe that evidence-based lifestyle medicine, combined with contemporary medical science, offers the opportunity to improve health, reduce disease risk, and promote lifelong vitality and that we can partner with patients to achieve those goals.
2. Excellent medical care requires time to listen, meaningful physician-patient relationships, and individualized treatment. We believe that understanding each patient’s unique circumstances, values, and health goals is essential to providing thoughtful, comprehensive, and effective medical care.
Our membership-based model supports the time, access, and continuity needed to put these principles into practice.
· An established, small adult primary care panel with room for thoughtful growth.
· Multidisciplinary collaboration with experts in exercise physiology and nutrition, plus experienced medical and administrative support staff.
· An on-site exercise facility for fitness assessments, individualized exercise prescriptions, exercise monitoring, and personal training.
· Comprehensive executive health examinations focused on early risk identification, illness prevention, and personalized health planning.
· Close collaboration with preventive cardiology in a physician-led practice.
Comprehensive Primary Care: Provide longitudinal adult primary care, preventive services, and management of acute and chronic conditions, integrating evidence-based lifestyle medicine into routine clinical practice.
Lifestyle Medicine Consultation: Develop focused consultations in cardiometabolic risk reduction, nutrition, physical activity, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, sleep, stress management, and sustainable behavioral change.
Education and Program Development: Design and teach patient classes, workshops, group programs, and structured lifestyle medicine offerings in person and online; collaborate with our clinical team and evaluate meaningful health outcomes.
· MD or DO; board certification in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine; Washington State medical license or eligibility.
· Experience providing comprehensive adult primary care, with a strong commitment to prevention, evidence-based lifestyle medicine, and collaborative patient care.
· American Board of Lifestyle Medicine certification preferred, or interest in obtaining certification.
· Interest in teaching, interdisciplinary care, virtual education, and clinical program development is welcomed.
· Four-day-per-week schedule with shared on-call responsibilities.
· Professional liability insurance, retirement benefits, health insurance, and paid vacation.
· Flexible compensation model based on competitive regional salary ranges for primary care physicians, with consideration of experience and professional contributions.
· Opportunity for partnership after one year, based on mutual interest and agreement.
We welcome physicians who value lasting patient relationships, clinical excellence, and the opportunity to advance prevention-focused healthcare.
To apply: Please send your CV and a brief letter of interest to Ms. Shay Erckert at [email protected].
