Essential job duties include:

  • Perform comprehensive in-person assessments, leading and partnering with the interdisciplinary team (IDT) to develop a personalized care plan for each participant
  • Coordinate discharge for acute, short-term, and long-term placement
  • No hospital rounds – focus on comprehensive care, seeing an average of 8 patients a day

Job requirements include:

  • Successful completion of a residency program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education
  • Master's or doctorate Degree
  • Board Certification preferred
  • Active state physician license without restrictions

If you’re ready to join a healthcare team that values both its patients and its providers, we’d love to hear from you.
