Florida Collaborating Physician Jobs – Connect with Clinics Hiring Physicians

No. Florida does not require the collaborating physician to be physically present at the practice site. The law requires the physician to be “reasonably available” for consultation when clinically appropriate. Remote supervision fully satisfies this standard, provided availability is maintained and the supervisory protocol documents the communication structure.

Florida’s office supervision limits depend on your specialty. Primary care physicians may supervise up to 4 offices in addition to their primary practice location. Specialty care physicians may supervise up to 2 additional offices. These limits govern physical practice locations, not individual NPs — we help you structure arrangements within these boundaries.

A supervisory protocol is Florida’s term for the written agreement between a physician and an NP that defines the NP’s scope of practice, prescribing authority, and the physician oversight structure. It must be signed by both parties and available at all practice locations. Yes — we coordinate and structure supervisory protocols to meet Florida Board of Medicine and Board of Nursing requirements. You review and sign; we handle the framework and board notification process.

No. Florida created a limited autonomous practice pathway in 2020 (Fla. Stat. §464.0123), but it requires 3,000 hours of supervised clinical practice within the past five years, board approval, and applies only to qualifying primary care settings. The vast majority of Florida NPs — including those in medspas, IV hydration, weight loss, telehealth, and specialty clinics — still require a collaborating physician.

Many physicians in our Florida network are matched and onboarded within 24 to 48 hours, depending on availability, credentials, and the specific clinic needs in your area of Florida.

For NPs: the most effective way to find a collaborating physician in Florida is through a managed matching network rather than searching independently. Florida’s supervisory protocol requirements — Board of Medicine notification within 30 days, specialty alignment, office supervision limits, and the protocol’s specific scope and prescribing elements — make the process more involved than most NPs anticipate when first looking to find a collaborating physician. A managed platform handles vetting, agreement structuring, and Board notification on your behalf, and matches you with a collaborative physician whose specialty aligns with your practice. NPs who try to source a collaborating physician independently through Facebook groups, LinkedIn, or cold outreach to local physicians often find the process slow, legally uncertain, and prone to producing agreements that don’t survive Board review. For physicians: if you are looking to access collaborating physician jobs in Florida, applying through CollaboratingPhysician.com is the most direct route to a compliant, compensated arrangement. We maintain an active pipeline of physician collaboration opportunities across the state and match you with NP practices within your specialty and scope.

In Florida, physician collaboration is the supervisory relationship established under Florida Statute §464.0012 between a licensed NP and a supervising physician. A collaborative physician in this context is not a co-treating provider — they are a licensed MD or DO who signs the supervisory protocol, is reasonably available for clinical consultation, and provides the physician oversight layer that Florida law requires for NP prescriptive authority. The day-to-day obligations of physician collaboration in Florida are intentionally lean: maintain availability, review the supervisory protocol, respond to consultation requests as they arise, and notify the Florida Board of Medicine within 30 days of entering into or terminating the arrangement. Beyond those defined obligations, the collaborative physician does not manage the NP’s schedule, staff, or patient care decisions — those remain with the NP. This distinction is important for physicians evaluating collaborating physician jobs in Florida who want to understand the scope of what they are agreeing to before signing a protocol. Physician collaboration in Florida is a defined, bounded relationship — not an open-ended supervisory commitment.
