• Participate in credential review and staff orientation activities as directed

• Board certified in Internal Medicine or a specialty relevant to our patient population, including Neurology, Rheumatology, Hematology/Oncology, Immunology, or a related field

• Comfortable working independently in a remote, distributed model; able to maintain accurate timesheets and compliance documentation

• Professional liability (malpractice) and D&O insurance provided by the PC at no cost to the physician
