Job description

Part-Time Traveling Optometrist (OD) - New Mexico

Location: Statewide NM (Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Farmington, Gallup, Taos, Las Cruces, Roswell)

Schedule: 2-6 weekdays per month (Wed/Thu/Fri)

Compensation: $1,200 per diem

Position Type: Independent Contractor (1099)

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.

If you're looking for meaningful, mission-driven work with schedule consistency - without the overhead of running your own practice - this opportunity offers flexibility, autonomy, and full administrative support.

Travel Expectations

This is a traveling optometrist role. Candidates must be comfortable driving up to 4 hours to assigned clinic locations, which may include some or all of the following regions:

• Albuquerque
• Santa Fe
• Farmington
• Gallup
• Taos
• Las Cruces
• Roswell

Mileage reimbursement is provided.

The Setting

This opportunity operates within a community-based outpatient clinic model:

• Full-time clinic staff on-site
• Organized scheduling and patient flow
• Coordinated, team-based care environment
• Value-based model focused on seniors

CMC manages equipment, supplies, scheduling, and billing - allowing you to focus entirely on delivering high-quality vision care.

What You'll Do

• Perform comprehensive eye exams and vision assessments
• Diagnose and manage common ocular conditions within your scope
• Prescribe corrective lenses and provide treatment recommendations
• Collaborate with clinic staff as part of an integrated care team
• Deliver patient-centered care in a structured outpatient setting

What Makes This Different

This is not a high-volume retail model.

Our optometrists are integrated into established clinic environments and represent CMC directly within each partner location. We emphasize:

• Quality over volume
• Consistency and predictability
• Administrative and logistical support
• Long-term clinic partnerships
• Ethical, mission-driven healthcare delivery

Qualifications

• Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree from an accredited program
• Active New Mexico optometry license
• Experience with senior populations preferred
• Strong clinical judgment and communication skills
• Comfortable practicing in outpatient clinic environments
• Willingness to travel up to 4 hours to assigned clinics

Schedule

• 2-6 weekdays per month (Wednesday-Friday)
• Typical hours: 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM
• No nights
• No weekends
• No billing or administrative responsibilities
