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.

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.

• Albuquerque

The Setting

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

• Full-time clinic staff on-site
• Organized scheduling and patient flow

• Diagnose and manage common ocular conditions within your scope
• Prescribe corrective lenses and provide treatment recommendations

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
