About The Opportunity

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is seeking a Part‑Time Optometrist (OD) to deliver high‑quality vision care across multiple New Mexico communities. This is a clinic‑based role where you’ll function as an extension of established outpatient teams serving senior populations.

• Ethical, mission‑driven healthcare delivery
