Arc Health and Native Arc have been invited to submit a proposal for Family Medicine MD/DOs at the Jicarilla Service Unit, an Indian Health Service (IHS) facility in the heart of Dulce, NM. Any interest in serving the vibrant Jicarilla Apache Nation, a community of over 4,000 patients?
🌄 Why You'll Love This Opportunity:
- Cultural Immersion: Experience the rich traditions of the Jicarilla Apache at the Cultural Center and enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and skiing at Elk Ridge.
- Impactful Work: Provide culturally respectful care while engaging in community health initiatives.
- Comprehensive Services: Work in a facility offering primary care, dental, behavioral health, and preventive programs.
🔍 Position Highlights:
- Schedule: Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM (No Call!)

Requirements: Board-certified in Family Medicine, with ACLS, PALS, BLS certifications, 2+ years of experience, and a clean NPDP report.
About the Area:
-
Travel ✈️: The closest major airport to Dulce, New Mexico, is Durango-La Plata County Airport (DRO) in Durango, Colorado, which is approximately 90 miles (about a 2-hour drive) from Dulce.
-
Small-Town Living: While Dulce offers essential amenities such as local shops, schools, and a health clinic (like the Jicarilla Service Unit), it is a rural area. For larger shopping centers, hospitals, and entertainment, residents typically travel to nearby towns like Farmington, NM, or Pagosa Springs, CO.
-
Seasonal Climate: Dulce experiences four distinct seasons. Winters can be cold with snowfall, especially due to its proximity to the mountains, while summers are mild and pleasant. Spring and fall are marked by beautiful landscapes and moderate temperatures.
-
Recreational Activities: Elk Ridge Ski Area is nearby for winter sports enthusiasts, and the surrounding national forests offer ample space for camping, hiking, and fishing. Hunting is also popular in the area.
