EMS Administrator / Federal EMS Medical Director, Emergency Medicine Physician (Tooele / Dugway, Utah)

Reference: 01CLFCA004

Location: Tooele and Dugway, Utah. Quarterly on-site meeting at Mountain West Medical Center, Tooele, UT; all other duties remote-compatible

Employment Type: Independent Contractor (1099), part-time, approximately 60 hours per year

Compensation: $225 - $250 per hour (1099), commensurate with experience

Schedule: Flexible, approximately 60 hours per year: monthly response-time analysis, quarterly reviews and audits, one quarterly on-site meeting, annual program evaluation each December. Performance begins September 1, 2026

Agency Environment: U.S. Army occupational health; physician-level EMS medical direction and protocol oversight for two military installation occupational health clinics (Tooele Army Depot and Dugway Proving Ground, Utah) under a federal firm-fixed-price services contract

Position Overview

Serve as the physician responsible for emergency medical oversight at two U.S. Army installations while maintaining your existing Emergency Medicine practice. This flexible, physician-led engagement asks for roughly five hours per month on average (about 60 hours per year) and delivers real impact on military emergency readiness without the demands of regular clinical shifts. As EMS Administrator for the occupational health clinics at Tooele Army Depot and Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, you provide physician-level medical direction for the installations' pre-hospital emergency medical services: maintaining and updating EMS protocols, reviewing ambulance run sheets, and leading the recurring quality review cycle that keeps both clinics' emergency response capability current, compliant, and clinically sound.

The engagement runs on a defined oversight calendar: monthly response-time analysis, quarterly program reviews and audits, an annual EMS program evaluation each December, and one on-site coordination meeting per quarter at Mountain West Medical Center in Tooele, Utah. All remaining duties are remote-compatible. Total commitment is approximately 60 hours per year, and contract performance begins September 1, 2026.

The successful candidate is an established Emergency Medicine physician, board certified with an active, unrestricted Utah medical license, who wants a low-hour, high-autonomy medical direction engagement that complements an existing clinical practice. The role rewards EMS systems judgment: the physician who reads a quarter of run sheets and sees the protocol gap, the response-time trend, and the training need behind the data.
