Medical Director Services PC (MDS PC) is hiring an Attending Physician (MD/DO) to care for residents at a skilled nursing facility in Thomaston, CT.

• Malpractice coverage

• A group that specializes exclusively in SNF medicine, with support navigating survey prep and regulatory requirements
• A culture that prioritizes quality of care and thorough documentation over volume

• Collaborate with APPs on your units
• Manage medication decisions — including narcotics and psychiatric medications — with an emphasis on reducing unnecessary polypharmacy
• Lead care planning, discharge planning, and ongoing staff education
• Support the facility through regulatory and survey site visits
• Coordinate with local hospitals to ensure continuity of care for residents

What you'll need:

• Active NYS medical license (MD or DO)
• Current DEA registration in good standing
• Up to date on CME requirements
• Experience in SNF, long-term care, or managed care settings preferred
• Comfort working with a culturally and linguistically diverse resident population
