Medical Director I

WelbeHealth PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) provides seniors with the opportunity to continue living in their homes and in their communities. We employ a collaborative interdisciplinary team (IDT) approach to evaluate and guide participant care. Our innovative and comprehensive range of medical services is what ignites our passion to treat the whole person rather than the symptoms.

The Medical Director I performs comprehensive in-person assessments and coordinates with the IDT to develop an individualized care plan for each participant. At the direction of the Medical Director II, this role oversees all participant care in nursing homes and hospitals, including admits and discharges for acute, short-term, and long-term placement, and the use of medical specialists to ensure effective care coordination. The Medical Director I also provides direction and support to Nurse Practitioners and other members of the IDT.

This role is different because the Medical Director I at WelbeHealth:

• Has the unique opportunity to lead in a PACE center in a mission-driven organization, shaping the culture and building the clinical team
• Spends ample time engaging with, forming long-term relationships with, and truly caring for participants in a value-based model

We care about our team members. That’s why we offer:

• Competitive compensation with quarterly bonus
• Generous time off - weekends off, 17 days PTO, 6 sick days, & 12 paid holidays
• Relocation assistance available
• CME reimbursement and malpractice/tail coverage
• Growth opportunities
• 401K savings + match, as well as equity grants
• Medical insurance coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
• Regular hours of 8am-5pm, Monday through Friday, including home visits
• Rotating on-call schedule - a few nights or weekends per month

On the day-to-day, you will:

• Provide assessments, planning, primary care, and continuous medical coverage to participants
• Collaborate with community-based physicians and the IDT in discharge planning from acute or long-term settings
• Actively participate in IDT meetings, communicating participant changes, collaborating on care planning decisions, and coordinating 24-hour care delivery
• Help maintain participant care in nursing homes, making regular visits as dictated by participant need

Job requirements include:

• Successful completion of a residency program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education
• Master’s degree or doctorate degree
• Board certification – internal medicine, family practice, or emergency medicine; geriatrics preferred
• Active State Physician License without restrictions, as well as state CDS certification and DEA registration
• Must be willing and able to participate in rotating night and weekend call

We are seeking a Medical Director I that ideally has current knowledge of chronic care/geriatric issues and best practices, and is currently enrolled or eligible for enrollment to provide services to Medicare and Medi-Cal participants. If you’re ready to join a holistic care team that values both its participants and providers, we’d love to hear from you!
