This position offers exposure to advanced clinical care and high-level research trials, along with clear opportunities for career progression into clinical research.

Work Environment

This is a full-time, on-site position in a very fast-paced ophthalmology environment. Typical workdays run Monday through Friday, with schedules falling between 6:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., depending on clinic needs. Early starts or late finishes are rare and generally occur only when the clinic is extremely busy. The role functions as a float position across the closest assigned locations, with travel required approximately three days per week. Transportation for these travel days is provided, and travel time is paid. All employees are tied to three primary clinics, and this role’s home clinic will be one of the busiest locations, often seeing 80–100+ patients per day. You will spend most of your time at the home clinic while also supporting other assigned clinics as needed. Schedules are provided two weeks in advance. On rare occasions, typically for training, you may be asked to work at a clinic outside your three primary locations, in which case mileage is reimbursed. Training takes place at an administrative building in the Galleria area. You will work as part of a team of approximately 8–24 colleagues, with each physician supported by a dedicated clinic staff team. The environment is highly collaborative, fast-paced, and focused on delivering efficient, high-quality patient care while also supporting advanced clinical research. The role involves extensive use of EMR systems, medical documentation tools, and standard clinical workflows. The dress code requires navy blue scrubs. Nails must be kept short and well groomed, and hair must be tied back to maintain a professional, hygienic, and patient-ready appearance.
