To our prospective teammates,

I am the national medical director for Sound Telemedicine Post Acute. I have been a part of Sound for over 4 years. I am proud of the post-acute telemedicine practice we have built and welcome interest from physicians and experienced APPs. I want to share more about it, specifically about our people, practice, and purpose, as you consider options:

People
  • We are a closely knit, established team of 50 physicians, with the support of a clinical performance nurse.
  • Our physicians mostly come from generalist training (IM, FM) and have a diverse set of prior clinical experiences including hospital-based practices, outpatient clinics, or post-acute facilities like nursing homes.
  • Our providers are located across the country and can work from home while serving a much-needed population in post-acute facilities like nursing homes to prevent unnecessary ER visits and unnecessary hospitalizations.
  • Many of our physicians have a strong interest in the geriatric population, subacute population, complex patient care, value-based care models, and innovation, and have a growth mindset interested in serving an underserved population.
Practice
  • We welcome the challenge of complex patients who are in post-acute care environments like nursing homes and need increased physician engagement cross-coverage model via telemedicine and availability after hours on evenings, nights, and 24/7 on weekends and holidays.
  • All physicians must have a minimum of 2 years of inpatient practicing experience.
  • This model requires a minimum of 3+ licenses in the states of CA, NY, NJ, PA, FL, MA, MD, CT, NC, SC, or VA
  • Part-time and full-time opportunities are available (84-120 hours/month).
  • We meet monthly as a group for practice changes or group updates.
  • Most of us like to spend time with our families and working from home helps each of the providers in this group meet their personal and professional needs.
  • We offer a flexible schedule that is released in advance so that you can plan your other commitments. We cover for each other when we are out.
  • Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life, and AD&D insurance, long- and short-term disability, 401k with match, paid medical malpractice and tail coverage, and annual CME allowance.
  • Based on 10 shifts (120hrs/mo.) – Compensation range is $136-$165k annually
  • Technology protocol, workflow, and EMR training provided.
  • The work schedule consists of nights and weekends.

Requirements of this position:

  • MD or DO, board-certified in IM or FM with 2 years of hospitalist experience OR Post-Acute/SNF experience.
  • Excellent interpersonal and verbal communication skills with a desire to learn.
  • Minimum of 3+ active state licenses is required – with preferences given to candidates who have CA plus a high number of the other states listed above.
  • Shifts are nights and weekend hours.
Purpose
  • We put patients first. Always.
  • A focus on growth and development is a key feature of Sound practices, where teammates can expand their careers here locally and within the broader medical group.
  • There is a unique opportunity to be part of innovative growth in a unique telemedicine practice that intersects with the post-acute environment.
