Tele-Endocrinology - Rural Healthcare

Tele-Endocrinologist

Part-Time | Flexible Schedule | Work from Anywhere | Rural Texas

Position Overview

The Rural Health Hub (RHH) is seeking a Tele-Endocrinologist to provide high-quality endocrine care to patients in rural and medically underserved Texas communities.

This flexible, part-time role allows the endocrinologist to work remotely while trained clinical staff are physically present with the patient. The endocrinologist will evaluate and manage a broad range of endocrine disorders, provide longitudinal specialty care, and collaborate with local primary care providers, dietitians, hospitals, and other specialists.

The Rural Health Hub Model

RHH uses a hybrid-telehealth model that combines remote specialty expertise with in-person clinical support.

Local medical assistants, nurses, or advanced practice providers assist with:

• History, medications, vital signs, and screening

• Physical examination components

• Coordination of laboratory testing, imaging, and other diagnostics

• Medication reconciliation and patient education

• Referrals and follow-up care

• Communication with the patient’s local care team

This model allows endocrinologists to provide meaningful ongoing care while using local and regional resources for laboratory testing, imaging, procedures, and higher levels of care when needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct initial and follow-up endocrinology visits by telehealth

• Evaluate and manage common endocrine and metabolic disorders

• Develop individualized diagnostic and treatment plans

• Review laboratory results, imaging, medications, and prior records

• Order appropriate diagnostic testing and referrals

• Provide longitudinal medication and disease management

• Adjust treatment plans based on clinical response and laboratory findings

• Identify patients requiring urgent or in-person evaluation

• Coordinate care with local clinicians and specialists

• Complete timely documentation and clinical follow-up

Clinical Scope

Patients may include those with:

• Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes

• Difficult-to-control diabetes

• Thyroid disorders

• Osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease

• Adrenal disorders

• Pituitary disorders

• Parathyroid and calcium disorders

• Obesity and metabolic disease

• Hypogonadism and other hormonal disorders

• Polycystic ovarian syndrome

• Endocrine complications of chronic medical conditions

Qualifications

• MD or DO degree

• Board certified or board eligible in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism

• Active Texas medical license or eligibility to obtain one

• Strong endocrine diagnostic and management skills

• Ability to practice effectively through telehealth

• Strong communication and collaboration skills

• Commitment to rural and underserved populations

Experience in telemedicine, rural healthcare, diabetes management, or other endocrine subspecialty care is welcomed but not required.

Schedule and Work Arrangement

• Part-time, flexible telehealth schedule

• Recurring weekly clinic blocks available

• Work remotely with no relocation required

• Local clinical personnel present with patients

• Scheduling, technology, and care-coordination support provided

• Opportunity to expand hours as the network grows

Why Join Rural Health Hub?

• Bring endocrinology care to communities with limited specialist access

• Work remotely while maintaining longitudinal patient relationships

• Complement an existing practice or academic appointment

• Practice within a coordinated care model rather than isolated telemedicine

• Help rural clinicians manage complex endocrine conditions
