Duties: Student Health Service at SUNY New Paltz invites applications for a College Physician to join our dedicated team. We provide compassionate, high-quality primary care to a diverse population of bright and engaged young adults. Our team is committed to student-centered care, clinical excellence, and collaboration. This position is represented by United University Professions (UUP) and enjoys competitive benefits.
Position Overview
The College Physician delivers primary medical care to enrolled students, addressing a wide range of health concerns commonly seen in a college setting. These include, but are not limited to:
• Respiratory infections
• Gastrointestinal illnesses
• Skin conditions
• Urinary tract infections
• Vaginitis and STIs
• Injuries
• Stress-related conditions
• Chronic illnesses not managed by outside providers
Familiarity with conditions prevalent among young adults is essential. Over time, you’ll develop deep expertise in managing these issues in a supportive, educational, and engaging environment.

• Eliciting and documenting medical histories
• Performing pertinent physical examinations, developing treatment plans, and prescribing medications
• Conducting diagnostic evaluations and workups
• Monitoring students’ progress and recovery
• Communicating treatment and care plans clearly to students and, when appropriate, their family members
• Collaborating effectively as part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team
• Participating in campus outreach activities to educate students on a variety of health-related topics
Why Consider This Role?
If private practice no longer feels sustainable or corporate healthcare isn’t the right fit, this position offers a refreshing alternative. Here, administrative burdens are minimized:
• Minimal insurance and prior authorization responsibilities
• User-friendly electronic medical records
• No performance metrics that interfere with patient care
This is a rare opportunity to practice medicine in a way that prioritizes meaningful, uninterrupted patient care and professional satisfaction.
