Job description

$21 to $25 per hour + performance bonus. Full time, Mon to Fri 9 to 5. No nights or weekends.
774 Broadway, Brooklyn 11206, by the J/M at Flushing Ave.

You earned a medical degree abroad and want to use it in the US while you work toward residency, PA or NP school. Most jobs open to you keep you far from patients. This one gives you your own panel of patients, monthly case meetings with US physicians and nurse practitioners, and hands-on experience in a US primary care practice. No prior US experience is required.

Why Tru Medical

Tru Medical is an award-winning adult primary care practice in East Williamsburg and Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. We are a NYS-accredited Patient-Centered Medical Home, a multi-year insurance quality award winner, and our patients rate us 4.87 stars. Many of our patients are Spanish-speaking, and for many of them we are the first office where someone listened. We are small enough that providers and managers know your name, and growing, so people who live our values move up.

How we work: Trust, Respect, Understanding

• We listen, repeat back, and clarify before we act.
• We know our patients' names.
• We stay kind and keep helping even when someone is having a hard day and taking it out on us.
• We ask for help early when something isn't working, and we know when to step away so the patient gets a better outcome.
• When there is no patient in front of us, we ask a teammate, "what can I help with?"

This isn't for you if:

• You see coaching as beneath your training. Our patients need someone who listens and explains, not someone who lectures. This is a non-physician role; you will not diagnose or prescribe.
• You take it personally when a patient is upset.
• You would rather guess than ask, or hide a mistake than flag it.
• You are looking for a short stop. We are building a team that stays.

What you will do

• Manage a panel of patients with diabetes, hypertension, asthma, obesity and high cholesterol
• Call patients between visits: review the care plan, uncover what is getting in the way, support medication adherence
• Use motivational interviewing to set SMART goals with each patient and track progress
• Write care plans in eClinicalWorks and keep program data current
• Meet monthly with providers about your patients and flag concerns the same day

What you need

• Medical degree from any country (MD, MBBS or equivalent)
• Authorized to work in the United States
• Live in the NYC area and able to commute to Brooklyn 11206
• Spanish and English strongly preferred
• Strong computer skills; we train you on eClinicalWorks and motivational interviewing

What you get

• US clinical experience alongside providers affiliated with Brooklyn Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia
• Performance bonus tied to patient outcomes
• Letters of recommendation for strong performers after 12 months
• Paid time off, paid holidays, 401(k)
• Health coach training and regular one-on-ones
