| VITAS® Healthcare has a rewarding opportunity for a full-time Home Care/Team Physician! Join our growing and dedicated team in the East Bay area as a Associate Medical Director and find a career that combines clinical excellence with compassion. We are looking for an experienced, board-certified or board-eligible physician with a passion for preserving the quality of life for those who have a limited time to live, ensuring that each patient’s wishes are honored with dignity. In collaboration with the referring physician, you will consult on symptom management to meet patient needs, including ordering diagnostic tests and prescribing medications and treatments. In this role, you will act as a medical resource for the nurse practitioners, physician assistants and others on our interdisciplinary hospice teams, guiding their work and assuring compliance with the highest standards of medical care. You’ll also prepare and maintain accurate patient records, charts and documents, as well as educating facility staff, co-workers and the community on all aspects of VITAS’ hospice care services. Why Work for VITAS?
VITAS knows that you treat every patient with dignity and respect, and we treat our employees the same way. Here, you’ll find opportunities for growth and advancement, as well as competitive compensation and excellent benefits. And with our commitment to your professional development through both peer-to-peer and interdisciplinary mentorships, you’ll have the chance to work with—and learn from—some of the brightest minds in hospice and palliative medicine today.
You became a physician to improve patients’ lives and make a difference, but the realities of medical practice today often make that goal very difficult. As a VITAS home care physician, you will enrich the quality of your patients’ lives and experience what it means to contribute to your community every day. Explore a rewarding career where we support you so that you can put your patients and their families first. Hospice work isn’t easy, but we do it extraordinarily well. |
