Practice Details

Rheumatology Sanford Black Hills Market, Rapid City, South Dakota

This is more than joining a practice, it's an opportunity to build one.

We're seeking a BE/BC Rheumatologist to establish a new outpatient rheumatology practice serving the growing communities of the Black Hills. With a strong referral network already in place, you'll step into a practice designed for thoughtful patient care while helping shape the future of rheumatology services in the region. One of the most exciting aspects of this opportunity is partnering in the development of a new Autoimmune Infusion Center, creating comprehensive care for patients with complex autoimmune diseases close to home.

Practice Highlights

• 100% outpatient rheumatology

• Monday–Friday clinic schedule (8:00 AM–5:00 PM)

• No inpatient responsibilities

• No after-hours call

• See approximately 15–20 patients per day

• Established primary care referral base with immediate patient demand

• Collaborate closely with a premier orthopedic surgery group and a multidisciplinary team of specialists

• Opportunity to help design workflows, build the practice, and influence future growth

• Develop and expand an Autoimmune Infusion Center to provide comprehensive biologic therapy services.

Why This Opportunity? Physicians often dream about building a practice without sacrificing their personal lives. Here, you can do both. Enjoy the professional satisfaction of creating a rheumatology program from the ground up while maintaining predictable clinic hours, meaningful patient relationships, and the freedom to enjoy everything the Black Hills has to offer outside of medicine. Whether your interests include inflammatory arthritis, connective tissue disease, osteoporosis, vasculitis, or infusion-based biologic therapies, you'll have the opportunity to build a practice that reflects your clinical passions.
