Primary Care Physician (Chula Vista, CA)

Family Medicine Physician Opportunity

Practice medicine in Chula Vista, one of Southern California's fastest-growing and most diverse communities. If you became a family medicine physician to build real relationships and actually practice medicine not to sprint through 25 patients before noon this is what you've been waiting for.

What your day actually looks like

• See 1015 patients with appointments ranging from 20 to 60 minutes time to actually listen, think, and treat.
• Work alongside a dedicated Whole Health Coach embedded in your care center, addressing behavioral, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors in-house.
• Onsite lab and pharmacy no referral friction, no waiting on outside results to make a clinical decision.
• Measured on outcomes and population health not procedure volume or RVUs.
• Provide prevention, chronic care, acute care, and disease management within a true medical home model.
• Participate in clinical leadership: quality improvement, care model development, and peer community.

"Having the support to really focus on preventive care is one of the main reasons I love working at Vera. We're the first place people go when they need care, so we have an amazing opportunity to make a big impact on their health."

Jackie Riddick, MD, Lead Physician, Vera Whole Health
