ABOUT US

Across the continental Northwest and Alaska, we are helping rural communities obtain excellent care, while also offering medical providers the chance to experience the adventure of a lifetime. Taking a placement with Wilderness Medical Staffing begins a journey of discovery, healing, and excitement that will change lives in amazing and unexpected ways.

In this new “Day in the Life-” style article, we follow a Family Nurse Practitioner in remote Alaska, capturing the pace, purpose, and perspective that come with practicing where flexibility and presence matter most.

Our founder Mary Ellen Dotyreflects on what continues to matter most. Supporting rural and tribal communities, standing alongside the facilities that serve them, and ensuring providers feel prepared, respected, and valued in the work they do.

Rural and tribal communities face some of the greatest barriers to healthcare access in the country. Long distances, limited resources, staffing shortages, and environmental challenges can make even basic care difficult to reach.

Rural and tribal medicine exists to bridge that gap. It requires adaptability, cultural respect, and providers who are willing to meet communities where they are, not where it is easiest to practice.

This work is often overlooked, but its impact is profound. When care is consistent, trusted, and locally accessible, entire communities are stronger.

This is why we exist. To support the facilities delivering care in these regions, and the providers who step into these roles, helping ensure quality healthcare reaches the places that need it most.

Looking for a rare opportunity in Alaska that blends meaningful work with everyday comforts?

We’re seeking a Pediatric Endocrinology MD/DO for a permanent position in Southcentral Alaska, based in a more urban community with access to modern amenities, schools, dining, and outdoor recreation right outside your door.

This is a unique chance to build long-term relationships with patients and families while practicing in a region known for both natural beauty and strong, close-knit communities.

If you’ve been considering a move to Alaska, this could be the perfect balance of purpose and livability.

After decades of practicing medicine in some of the most remote corners of the world, our founder Mary Ellen Doty, NP, has officially shared her story.

Today marks the launch of her book, 'Medicine at 50 Below.' It is a powerful collection of lived experience, hard-earned lessons, and deeply human moments from healthcare at the edges of the world.

This book reflects the heart of why Wilderness Medical Staffing exists and the communities we serve.

This is a true frontier-style assignment for an experienced NP or PA who’s comfortable practicing independently.

You’ll provide primary care and daytime emergency coverage in a remote Interior Alaska community, with solo call nights and weekends. Backup support is available when needed, and every hour of call is paid.

This role is best suited for providers who are confident, adaptable, and motivated by meaningful work in communities with true need.

Miles the Moose has been busy again. Contracted provider, Wayne D., took our favorite mascot all the way to Uganda, where Miles met incredible people, explored new places, and even had a close encounter with a crocodile skull. Don’t worry, no moose were harmed in the making of these photos.

One of our favorite things about Miles’ travels is how easily he becomes a conversation starter. Different places, different cultures, same smiles. Thanks for taking us along, Wayne!

Rural healthcare will teach you things the classroom never could.

Not from textbooks or lectures, but from people, places, and moments you don’t forget.

This work shapes you in ways you can’t fully prepare for. You have to live it.

We’re excited to share how our partnership with Elite365 expands the way we support rural and remote healthcare facilities.

Being part of the Elite365 family gives Wilderness Medical Staffing access to a broader national provider network and additional specialty support, including dental staffing through Proxi Dental Staffing and travel therapy through CCI (PT, OT, SLP).

For facilities (CAHs, clinics, etc.), this means more coverage options, greater flexibility, and help filling hard-to-staff roles, all while maintaining the personalized, relationship-driven approach WMS is known for.

Our mission hasn’t changed. We’re still focused on continuity of care and supporting the communities you serve, now with even more resources behind the scenes. If you’re curious how this could support your upcoming staffing needs, we’d love to connect.
