Starting your career as a physician involves many important decisions, and contract negotiation is one of the most critical. Understanding the terms that will shape your practice is essential for long-term success.
From compensation and benefits to professional responsibilities, every contract detail impacts your career trajectory. The key is asking the right questions and seeking appropriate guidance.
This Thanksgiving, we're especially grateful for the clinicians and team members working today to care for others.
While many celebrate with family, you're ensuring patients have access to the care they need. Thank you for your dedication and service.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Your professional network is just as important as your clinical skills.
While most social media platforms are great for staying connected with friends and family, dedicated physician social networks offer something more valuable for your career: peer-to-peer medical expertise, real-time case consultations, and professional development opportunities designed specifically for health care professionals.
Your time is precious. Make sure your professional networking is working as hard as you are.
These emerging leaders completed an intensive leadership development program and we're so proud of their accomplishments.
Congratulations to each of you!

Supporting our clinicians means more than wellness programs – it means fixing the systems that contribute to burnout.
We believe in creating work environments where health care professionals can thrive, not just survive. From better scheduling to streamlined processes, meaningful change happens when organizations address the root causes.
Learn more about our approach to clinician wellness and why systemic solutions matter.
When every second matters, excellence isn't optional.
Our emergency medicine teams don't just meet quality standards—they consistently exceed them. Supporting clinicians and serving patients go hand in hand.
Congratulations to our third round of 2025 Shining Star Winners – four team members who bring our values to life every day through respect, courage, collaboration, and agility.
Your dedication makes all the difference.

Health care continues to evolve, and so do we. We're bringing innovative hybrid care solutions directly into emergency departments to support patients and clinicians when it matters most.

SCP Health (SCP) is a clinical company. At our core we work to bring hospitals and healers together in the pursuit of clinical effectiveness. With a portfolio of over 8 million patients, 7500 providers, 30 states, and 400 healthcare facilities, SCP Health is a leader in clinical practice management spanning the entire continuum of care, including emergency medicine, hospital medicine, wellness, telemedicine, intensive care, and ambulatory care.
Clinically rooted
Established in 1994, SCP Health (SCP) – previously Schumacher Clinical Partners – was founded on the belief that there was a better way to deliver and manage emergency medical services in the hospital environment. Our founder, William “Kip” Schumacher, M.D., aimed to make a positive difference in emergency medicine practice management and services. Over time, that vision evolved to encompass a broader role as a clinical service partner.
Today, SCP has grown to one of the largest healthcare partners in the country. At our core, we work to bring hospitals and healers together in pursuit of clinical effectiveness.
Working toward a better way
After 20 years of operating independently, the originally named Schumacher Group merged with like-minded physician management group Hospital Physician Partners in 2015. The move grew SCP’s national reach, adding 2,000 providers and multiple states to the roster. The following year they also joined forces with ECI Healthcare Partners, a hospital and physician management group. With a new portfolio of 8 million patients, 7,500 providers, 30 states, and 400 hospital facilities, this powerful trio set out to deliver better hospital and physician services on a national level. SCP Healths current array of clinical program offerings has evolved from standalone emergency medicine to span the entire continuum of care including telemedicine, hospital medicine, intensive care, and ambulatory care.
