• Rotating on-call schedule - a few nights or weekends per month

On the day-to-day, you will:

• Provide assessments, planning, primary care, and continuous medical coverage to participants
• Collaborate with community-based physicians and the IDT in discharge planning from acute or long-term settings
• Actively participate in IDT meetings, communicating participant changes, collaborating on care planning decisions, and coordinating 24-hour care delivery
• Help maintain participant care in nursing homes, making regular visits as dictated by participant need

Job requirements include:

• Successful completion of a residency program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education
• Master’s degree or doctorate degree
• Board certification – internal medicine, family practice, or emergency medicine; geriatrics preferred
• Active State Physician License without restrictions, as well as state CDS certification and DEA registration
• Must be willing and able to participate in rotating night and weekend call

We are seeking a Medical Director I that ideally has current knowledge of chronic care/geriatric issues and best practices, and is currently enrolled or eligible for enrollment to provide services to Medicare and Medi-Cal participants. If you’re ready to join a holistic care team that values both its participants and providers, we’d love to hear from you!
