Role Description This is not high-volume, protocol-driven telehealth. Physicians practice as part of a broader care model that includes asynchronous and synchronous virtual care, coordination of labs and imaging, specialist e-consults, and referrals to in-person care when appropriate. Clinicians remain involved in guiding patients through decisions and next steps, rather than handing care off after a single interaction. The role is designed to fit naturally alongside an existing hospital, ED, or outpatient practice, offering flexible, meaningful clinical work supported by exceptional tools and a white-glove operational backbone. What the Work Looks Like - Provide asynchronous text-based chat care for adult patients across the U.S. - Triage and practice broad general medicine across a wide range of acuity and clinical complexity - Order and interpret labs and imaging, and coordinate specialist e-consults - Recommend and guide patients to appropriate in-person care when needed (operations teams handle provider identification, booking, and scheduling) - Help patients identify and coordinate the next clinically relevant steps — not just address the presenting complaint - Maintain clinical ownership and continuity throughout the decision-making process - Contribute feedback to improve clinical workflows and support tools over time Clinical Environment & Support Physicians work within a modern virtual care system supported by: - Exceptional clinical support and technology that provide full patient context and reduce administrative burden - Asynchronous chat-based visits - Rapid access to specialist input - Expedited labs, imaging, and referrals within patients' insurance networks - Clear price visibility for insurance and cash options to support shared decision-making - A dedicated operations team that handles coordination and non-clinical work All medical decisions are made by licensed clinicians. Technology exists to support clarity, alignment, and continuity — not to replace clinical judgment. Qualifications Required - MD or DO, board-certified or board-eligible in Emergency Medicine - Active, unrestricted medical license in at least one U.S. state - Comfort practicing broad general medicine with diagnostic ambiguity and clinical synthesis - Strong written communication skills and a collaborative, patient-centered approach to care - Willingness to engage with modern clinical tools and workflows (prior telehealth experience helpful, not required) - Ability to commit to a minimum of 12 hours per week - Availability to cover at least one weekend shift per month - Eligibility to treat Medicare and Medicaid patients - A clean record of practice, with no sanctions, suspensions, or history of malpractice Strong Fit If You - Maintain an active ED or hospital practice - Are seeking a flexible secondary clinical role without compromising standards - Value continuity, follow-through, and patient partnership - Enjoy helping patients navigate complex decisions beyond isolated visits - Appreciate tools that provide full context and reduce administrative overhead Why Work With General Medicine - 1099 flexibility designed to fit alongside primary clinical roles - Exceptional clinical support tools clinicians describe as the best they've used - Full operations support for coordination and administrative tasks - A selective, growing community of thoughtful clinicians
