Job Description Summary

How Will You Make An Impact & Requirements

What Your Day Actually Looks Like

See 10–15 patients with appointments ranging from 20 to 60 minutes — time to actually listen, think, and treat.
Work alongside a dedicated Whole Health Coach embedded in your care center, addressing behavioral, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors in-house.
Onsite lab and pharmacy — no referral friction, no waiting on outside results to make a clinical decision.
Measured on outcomes and population health — not procedure volume or RVUs.
Provide prevention, chronic care, acute care, and disease management within a true medical home model.
Participate in clinical leadership: quality improvement, care model development, and peer community.

“Having the support to really focus on preventive care is one of the main reasons I love working at Vera. We’re the first place people go when they need care, so we have an amazing opportunity to make a big impact on their health.”

— Jackie Riddick, MD, Lead Physician, Vera Whole Health
