Great Neck, NY

Compensation Varies with Experience (~$50K-$75K)

Want to help build the future of independent primary care?

Primary PartnerCare is seeking entrepreneurial, early-career healthcare professionals who want to learn by doing, take on real responsibility, and build a career in primary care.

Our Associates receive broad, hands-on exposure to the business of a multi-site primary care organization, including:

• Physician practice management and operations
• Value-based care and ACO operations
• Population health and quality improvement
• Healthcare analytics and performance
• Patient experience and workflow improvement
• Healthcare technology, including software we have developed to solve real-world primary care and population health challenges
• New initiatives, growth opportunities, and special projects

This is not a traditional administrative role. You will work on real problems and real projects alongside healthcare executives, physicians, managers, and clinical teams.

We Don't Expect You to Know Everything

We are looking for potential, initiative, and curiosity, not someone who already has years of healthcare management experience.

You'll be expected to ask questions, learn quickly, take ownership, and tackle assignments that may initially be unfamiliar. As you demonstrate your strengths, your role can evolve around your abilities, interests, and career goals.

Communication Matters

Healthcare is a people business. We're looking for someone who can communicate confidently and professionally face-to-face, not just through email and technology.

You should be comfortable speaking with physicians, executives, managers, and staff; asking thoughtful questions; presenting ideas; listening carefully; and explaining problems and solutions clearly.

You don't need to be a polished public speaker on day one. You do need to be willing to speak up, present your ideas, and develop into a confident communicator.

 What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Healthcare Administration, Public Health, Health Management, Business Administration, Health Informatics, or a related healthcare field -- Masters Degree highly preferred
• Internship or meaningful work experience in a physician practice, medical group, ACO, or ambulatory healthcare organization
• Genuine interest in primary care
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Entrepreneurial, analytical, and self-directed mindset
• Ability to identify problems and pursue solutions
• Willingness to take on challenges outside your existing experience
• Ambition to grow into increasingly meaningful responsibility

Build Your Career With Us

You may eventually find your strength in practice operations, population health, value-based care, analytics, healthcare technology, or building new programs.

We have multiple needs across our organization. For the right person, we may ultimately build a position around what you do especially well and where you want to take your career.

We're not looking for someone who simply wants to administer healthcare.

We're looking for people who want to help build better ways to deliver it.

Learn the business. Improve the model. Build what's next.
