Job Description
MD - Primary Care
Not all who wander are lost
The Community - Chinle AZ
This opportunity is in Northern Arizona where Hope and Navajo
Nations meet. If you like the outdoors and are fascinated by Native
culture, this assignment is for you. You will be working five
minutes from Canyon de Chelly, one of the largest, and most
significant archaeological preserves in the U.S. And if you are not
fascinated by the 5,000 year habitation history of the park, you
will be stunned by its red rock formations and wooded red -floored
canyons. Meanwhile you will be within driving distance of five
other National Parks including the Grand Canyon. You won't want to
miss the Hubble Trading Post where Navajo and Hope traded wool
blanket for pesh-tai, tokens they could use to buy other goods. It
is essentially unchanged since 1883. More importantly you will be
alieviating the health care shortage in one of the most underserved
regions in the U.S. Navajo and Hope are 5-6 times more likely to
suffer from debilitating chronic health conditions due to poor
living conditions and lack of access to care
