Job description

Blackford Talent is engaged on a new Geriatric Primary Care MD/DO role with a private non-profit organization in the Murrieta, CA area.

This role is a Mon-Fri 8a-5p schedule (possible for a 32hr week schedule, also) where you'll run your own patient panel, providing care for seniors in a holistic environment. Panel sizes run a fraction of standard primary care, for those looking for a more intentional practice where you'll actually get to know your patients.

What you'll do

• Full-scope geriatric care: diagnose, treat, prescribe, manage chronic and acute care
• Multimorbidity, dementia, functional decline, polypharmacy, advanced illness
• Order and interpret labs, imaging, and diagnostics
• Refer out to specialists when a patient needs more than primary care can give
• Goals-of-care conversations, capacity assessments, POLST, and palliative principles worked into routine care

What you need

• MD or DO License
• Board certified or Board Eligible in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine or Geriatrics
• Active California medical license (licenses in-process will also be considered)

This is a great group with Clinician led leadership.
