JOB DESCRIPTION

As Physician, you will deliver high-quality, comprehensive primary care in a team-based, patient-centered setting focused on prevention, chronic disease management, timely access, whole-person care, and health equity.

To allow the time to deliver high quality care to patients with complex needs, our practitioners manage panels between 700 and 1,200 patients and see about 14 patients per day. After-hours calls are shared among the full primary care group and supported by a nurse triage line that manages the vast majority of after-hours requests. Our providers have the option to teach medical residents from several organizations as well as medical students from the local medical school.

About the role:

• Serve as the primary care provider for empaneled patients across the lifespan in an ambulatory setting.
• Diagnose and treat acute and chronic conditions; prescribe and manage medications and therapies within scope of practice.
• Order, interpret, communicate, and follow up on laboratory, imaging, and other diagnostic tests within established timelines.
• Lead and coordinate care team activities through huddles, written care plans, coaching, and collaboration across disciplines.
• Manage an assigned patient panel using evidence-based strategies that support continuity, prevention, chronic disease management, and closure of care gaps.
• Collaborate with medical, behavioral health, dental, pharmacy, nursing, public health, and community partners to support whole-person care.
• Support Patient-Centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH) standards, including access, accountability, continuity, coordination, person- and family-centered care, and equity.
• Participate in peer review, quality improvement, population health, patient safety, and organizational practice development.
• Provide care at other clinic locations or cross-cover other providers based on patient care and operational needs; participate in after-hours or backup call responsibilities as assigned.

Why join CHC

Practice in a collaborative care model that integrates physical health, behavioral health, dental care, and community-based supports.
