Same skills, same training, same offer letter. Different leverage. 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 graduation approaches and the algorithm stops. A recruiter calls. The contract has a productivity formula you cannot solve for, a non-compete you cannot evaluate, and a tail-coverage clause nobody explained.
Nobody is telling you what other endocrinology practices exist in South Dakota, what the contract really says, or which lawyer to call. The senior people in your program signed without reading because they had no guide either. This directory is the first page of the map.
This directory covers 5 independently operated endocrinology practices in South Dakota. The data comes from two sources: the NPPES NPI Registry (the federal provider database maintained by CMS) and DataForSEO business listings for contact details and descriptions. I've excluded every practice that doesn't qualify as physician-owned. That means hospital-employed positions, academic roles, and corporate medical groups are filtered out. What remains is 10 practices across 1 cities.
Most physicians looking for endocrinology opportunities in South Dakota start with a recruiter or a job board. Both of those sources mix hospital-employed roles with genuine private practice opportunities, and they rarely disclose ownership structure upfront. This page does one thing differently: it filters for physician ownership using the federal NPPES registry. That's it. The result is 5 practices you can contact directly, without a middleman deciding what you're allowed to see.

Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 5 physician-owned endocrinology private practices in South 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.
South Dakota's only physician-owned endocrinology practice in this directory is Yankton Medical Clinic - Endocrinology in Yankton.
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.
Private endocrinology practices in South Dakota commonly add: DEXA scanning for osteoporosis (technical component revenue), in-house laboratory services (HbA1c, thyroid, metabolic panels with a CLIA-certified lab license), continuous glucose monitor (CGM) supply dispensing, and DSMES (Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support) programs. Each adds revenue beyond E&M billing without requiring new physician FTEs. Ask any prospective practice which of these services are active and how the revenue is distributed.
