Pre-med was a checklist. Med school was a checklist. Residency interviews were a checklist. Boards were a checklist. Even the Match algorithm was a checklist someone else wrote.
A hospital recruiter's quiet superpower is that you do not know what else is around. They are counting on you not knowing. This directory takes that superpower away. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.
Hospital-employed, government-operated, and academic positions are excluded. These are not independent private practices:

Then PGY-Final hits, and the page is blank. A recruiter calls. A contract lands in your inbox with a 50-mile non-compete, an opaque productivity model, and a signing bonus you do not understand the strings on.
What this directory does is hand you the page you were missing. Every physician-owned physical medicine group in North Dakota, in one place, so the first contract you sign is not the only contract you ever saw.
I built this directory by starting with the NPPES NPI Registry, the federal database where every medical practice in the country has to register. From there, I filtered North Dakota's physical medicine listings down to practices that are genuinely physician-owned. That means no hospital-employed roles, no academic faculty positions, no corporate-acquired clinics. What you're looking at is 11 independent physical medicine practices across 1 cities in North Dakota.
The reason this matters is that job boards don't distinguish between an independent physical medicine practice and a corporate medical group. They list them side by side, identical formatting, identical apply buttons. But the compensation model, the call schedule, the equity path, and the long-term upside are completely different depending on who owns the practice. This page separates the two. You can work through the list, contact practices directly, and skip the recruiter entirely.
North Dakota's physician-owned physical medicine directory lists 8 practice locations in Fargo.
None of the physical medicine practices listed in North Dakota carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
See what is out there. Read the contract. Get a physician-specific attorney to sign off. In that order.
You are already here. 8 physician-owned physical medicine groups in North Dakota, vetted against NPPES.
The Real Contract walks you through every clause that matters: non-compete, productivity, tail coverage, partnership track.
A vetted directory of physician-contract attorneys in North Dakota. The person on your side should be one who actually does this work.
Not because they did not care. Because nobody handed them the map. Now there is one.
“You are not behind. The page after training was never written down.”
Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 8 physician-owned physical medicine private practices in North Dakota, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. All are independently operated. Hospital-employed, government, corporate, and academic positions are excluded.
A physician-owned practice is one where licensed physicians hold controlling ownership of the business entity. This is distinct from hospital employment, corporate medical groups, or private equity-backed practices where non-physician entities control the business.
The Corporate-Acquired flag means the practice was historically physician-owned but has since been acquired by a corporate entity such as Optum. The MSO-Affiliated flag means the practice uses a Management Services Organization for billing and administration while physicians retain practice-level ownership.
North Dakota doesn't have physician-owned independent physical medicine practices in this directory. Physical medicine care here runs through Trinity Health Minot and other hospital systems.
NPPES is the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System, a federal database maintained by CMS. Every practice in this directory has an active NPI record in NPPES, confirming it is a registered U.S. medical practice.
Generally no. The Physician Self-Referral Law (Stark Law) prohibits physicians from referring Medicare patients to physical therapy or occupational therapy facilities in which the physician has a financial interest, unless a specific statutory exception applies. The in-office ancillary services exception may apply in limited circumstances if the PT services are directly supervised and provided in the same office where the physician practices. Consult a healthcare attorney before any PM&R practice acquires or refers to a PT facility with physician ownership.
