About the Role
We are seeking a multi-state licensed physician to serve as our Telehealth Physician Lead, providing clinical oversight, quality assurance, and hands-on leadership for our growing telehealth care program.

You'll see patients yourself, facilitate community-based appointments, and set the standard for how our clinical team operates. After initial visits, ongoing support is provided by a care team including Community Health Workers and Licensed Clinical Social Workers, allowing clinicians to focus on clinical guidance rather than longitudinal case management.

- Experience with group visit models strongly preferred

- Comfort working with Medicare, Medicaid, and complex populations
