Job description
AbsoluteCare is seeking a compassionate and mission-driven Primary Care Physician to join our Chicago team. In this role, you’ll provide comprehensive, value-based care to a panel of medically and socially complex patients—seeing just 10–12 patients per day to allow for deeper relationships and better outcomes.
Our model is built around the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) and integrates medical, behavioral, and social services under one roof. We care for patients who are often overlooked by traditional systems—those with chronic conditions, behavioral health needs, and social challenges like housing instability and food insecurity.
Why Join AbsoluteCare?
- Patient-Centered Model: Focus on outcomes, not volume
- Integrated Services: Pharmacy, lab, imaging, behavioral health, and more—all onsite
- Mission-Driven Culture: Serve those who need it most
- Supportive Team: Work alongside social workers, nurses, behavioral health clinicians, and community health workers
- Work-Life Balance: Manageable patient load and no RVU pressure
Job Responsibilities
Manage patients with multiple chronic and complex conditions using a team-based approach.
Collaborate with social work, case management, behavioral health, pharmacy, and nutrition to develop and implement care plans.
Lead transitional care planning across the continuum—from hospital to home.
Coordinate with hospitals, ERs, and skilled nursing facilities to ensure safe and timely discharges.
Treat acute exacerbations onsite (e.g., CHF, COPD, infections) and determine when escalation is necessary.
Accept urgent/same-day visits post-discharge to prevent readmissions.
Monitor disease progression and proactively prevent ER visits and hospitalizations.
Educate patients on chronic disease management and advanced care planning.
Practice evidence-based medicine aligned with the PCMH model.
