Job description

Position Summary

This crucial role is a transitional position towards becoming a center clinical P & L leader (i.e., Senior Medical Director [SMD]) in the organization. The incumbent Center Medical Director (CMD) will leverage prior leadership experience to expedite learning and delivering the ChenMed clinical model. The CMD may be simultaneously completing PCP Black Belt Training and Mastering the Medical Director Essentials within a combined and accelerated PCP and medical director training pathway. This position will be subject to, and have center oversight for, the following metrics/competencies that are regularly assessed to help our clinicians become successful and reach Partnership status: panel size, patient outcomes (admissions and hospital sick days), CG CAHPS and net promoter score (patient experience), HEDIS and clinical gaps closures, and medical cost effectiveness measures. Each primary care provider (PCP) will have goals for these metrics and will be expected to work towards those targets with their center and market leadership as well as their care team.

Essential Job Duties / Responsibilities

• Independently provide care and oversight of outcomes for patients with acute and chronic illnesses in the older adult population. Take full accountability for patient care and outcomes, seek consultation from specialists when needed, and remain involved in the detailed care of the patient.
• Engage hospitalists for patients in the hospital, regardless of whether the hospitalist works for ChenMed or not. Assess, diagnose, treat, manage, educate, promote health, coordinate care, and document care for patients with acute and complex chronic needs.
• Lead a care team consisting of a care promoter (medical assistant), care facilitator, and care coordinator for patients able to come to the office. For patients unable to come to the office—hospital, SNF, LTC or home-bound—the CMD will engage with the transitional care team and other resources such as case managers, acute and transitional‑care physicians, and telehealth.
• Lead Super Huddle (SH) and Transforming Care Meeting (TCM) weekly, and support the Center Manager/Center General Manager. Partner with the Center Manager/Center General Manager to co‑lead center stand‑ups and deliver exceptional patient care across teams.
• Join National Director biweekly meetings and attend annual/biannual clinical leadership conferences. Play an active role in managing the center and cover for other providers when needed.
• Actively recruit patients for the center and additional providers for the company. Drive a positive culture that supports a cohesive team approach, drives excellent results, and promotes a "best place to work" culture measured by employee engagement scores.
• Upon successfully achieving consistent primary care performance trending towards that of a ChenMed PCP Partner and maintaining the trajectory of medical director training, the CMD will be asked to increasingly assume the role and responsibilities of a Senior Medical Director, which may include managing, mentoring and coaching PCPs; performing leadership rounding; partnering with the Center Manager/Center General Manager to improve financial performance; and helping increase center membership.
• Adhere to strict departmental goals/objectives, standards of performance, regulatory compliance, quality patient care compliance, and policies and procedures.

Pay Range

$238,832 - $341,189. The posted pay range represents the base hourly rate or base annual full‑time salary for this position.
