With 18-year contract stability, LEMA is strong and growing! Now offering even more variety and flexible practice opportunities, ALL LEMA doctors can tailor their practice to include both free-standing and hospital-based clinical opportunities. Our first free-standing ED opened in Tyler, October 2015, and three more free-standing EDs will be open by Spring 2016. LEMA is offering a unique compensation structure in all of our free-standing EDs -- profit sharing for all clinical docs. This unprecedented pay structure exemplifies LEMA’s commitment to truly value and reward all clinical physicians working in our free-standing departments.
LEMA is unique in its ability to offer physicians the best of both worlds, free-standing and hospital-based, academic and community medicine (we have teaching opportunities with 3rd year EM residents at one of our hospitals and IM residents at two other campuses). LEMA is a group of exemplary physicians who work together as a team, value each member’s input, and have a level of integrity, honesty and trust that make this innovative group truly one-of-a-kind.
