We are seeking a mission-driven MD/DO physician trained in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine to provide comprehensive primary care to a medically complex senior population. This role is ideal for a physician interested in geriatrics, care coordination, and relationship-based medicine outside of a high-volume primary care office setting.
The physician will serve as a primary care provider within a multidisciplinary model designed to support older adults who qualify for nursing home–level care but remain living in the community.
Practice Setting
- Community-based senior care model
- Patients are seen primarily at a central care site, with occasional home or assisted living visits
- Slower pace than traditional outpatient primary care
- Focus on complex, high-acuity geriatric patients
- Strong emphasis on patient and family education
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver longitudinal primary care to enrolled senior patients in community and residential settings
- Perform comprehensive history and physical exams for new patients and routine reassessments for established patients
- Evaluate and manage acute medical issues and chronic conditions
- Participate actively in interdisciplinary team meetings, including care planning and case conferences
- Collaborate closely with nurses, nurse practitioners, specialists, and social services to ensure continuity of care
- Communicate with families and caregivers regarding patient condition and care plans
- Coordinate transitions of care, including post-hospital follow-up and discharge planning
- Monitor patients hospitalized outside the network and assist with care coordination when appropriate
- Maintain timely and accurate documentation in the electronic medical record
- Review consultant recommendations and implement care changes promptly
- Participate in quality, utilization, and regulatory meetings as needed
- Provide clinical oversight and mentorship to advanced practice providers
- Participate in an after-hours call rotation (phone-based only)
Schedule & Workload
- Monday–Friday schedule
- Standard business hours (no overnight shifts)
- Average ~10 patients per day
- Mix of comprehensive assessments and acute visits
- Occasional home or assisted living visits (approximately 2–3 times per month)
Candidate Qualifications
- MD or DO required
- Completion of residency in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine
- Board Certified or Board Eligible
- Geriatric experience strongly preferred (training available for the right candidate)
- Comfortable caring for medically complex, frail, elderly patients
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Team-oriented mindset with the ability to collaborate across multiple disciplines
- Mission-driven approach to patient care
- Ability to travel locally within the Bronx and surrounding areas
- Bilingual skills are a plus but not required
- Clean professional background
