Position Overview

We are seeking a Sports Medicine Physician (MD/DO) to join our expanding primary care sports physician owned outpatient practice. This position offers a unique combination of clinical sports medicine, including team physician duties for the University of Montana in Missoula, MT. Additionally there will be opportunities for professional growth in musculoskeletal sports medicine procedures and orthobiologics.

The successful candidate will help provide care to collegiate athletes through training room clinics, game coverage, and concussion management, while maintaining a balanced outpatient sports medicine practice for community athletes in a very active community. 

We are prioritizing immediate placement but will also consider exceptional candidates currently in fellowship training who would be available to start in July 2026.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide comprehensive non-operative outpatient sports medicine care for musculoskeletal and sports-related conditions.
• Serve as a University of Montana Team Physician, participating in:
• Training room clinics
• Game and event coverage
• Concussion management and return-to-play decisions
• Perform MSK ultrasound for diagnostic and procedural purposes (training and mentorship available).
• Collaborate with an on-site MSK radiologist, local physical therapists, and clinical staff.
• Participate in community sports coverage (high school, collegiate, and local athletic events).
• Contribute to growth in areas of individual interest — including ultrasound, concussion care, regenerative medicine, and/or exercise physiology.

Orthobiologic and Regenerative Medicine Opportunities

While the primary focus of this role is outpatient non-operative sports medicine, Missoula Sports Medicine also provides a growing orthobiologic practice for those interested in regenerative approaches to musculoskeletal health.

Available and supported procedures include:

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections for tendon and joint disorders
• Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) autologous cell procedures
• Ultrasound- and CT-guided procedures with full imaging support

This is a flexible and optional component of the position — ideal for physicians who want to expand their procedural skillset or integrate evidence-based regenerative care into practice.

Practice Features

• Outpatient-only schedule
• Physician owned practice with path to partnership if desired.
• Full in-house imaging: X-ray, CT, MRI, and diagnostic ultrasound.
• On-site board-certified MSK radiologist.
• Supportive clinical team and collaborative environment.
• Opportunities to develop specialty programs or lead clinical initiatives.

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive guaranteed first year base salary with possibility of production-based bonuses.
• Employee position with future partnership potential.
• Health insurance, 401K, CME support, and relocation assistance.
• Strong mix of cash-pay and insurance reimbursement.
