Clinical Support and InfrastructureThe Well is fully equipped to support a Functional Medicine–focused Internal Medicine practice. On-site clinical support includes trained nursing staff and phlebotomy services, allowing for efficient blood draws and coordination of the comprehensive laboratory testing commonly required in functional and preventative care.Healthcare EnvironmentAlthough the Cayman Islands is a British Overseas Territory, the healthcare system closely mirrors the United States private healthcare model. Medical practice utilises diagnostic codes and CPT codes and billing, and care is largely delivered through private health insurance.Physicians should therefore be comfortable working within an insurance-based environment, including appropriate documentation, coding awareness, and coordination of care within a privately insured population.CompensationThis role is offered on a commission-based compensation model, aligned with clinical activity and patient engagement.Expected annual earnings for an established practitioner may range from USD $300,000 to $500,000.
