Medical Director Services PC (MDS PC) is hiring an Attending Physician (MD/DO) to care for residents at a skilled nursing facility in Thomaston, CT. Founded in 2016, MDS PC is a physician-led group built specifically for the SNF setting — we focus on treating patients in place, reducing avoidable hospitalizations, and keeping providers closely connected to the surrounding hospital network for continuity of care.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary & benefits, commensurate with experience

• Malpractice coverage

• A group that specializes exclusively in SNF medicine, with support navigating survey prep and regulatory requirements

• A culture that prioritizes quality of care and thorough documentation over volume

• Perform admissions, monthly, acute & routine visits for SNF residents, on a regulatory and as-needed basis.

• Collaborate with APPs on your units

• Manage medication decisions — including narcotics and psychiatric medications — with an emphasis on reducing unnecessary polypharmacy

• Lead care planning, discharge planning, and ongoing staff education

• Support the facility through regulatory and survey site visits

• Coordinate with local hospitals to ensure continuity of care for residents

What you'll need:

• Active NYS medical license (MD or DO)

• Current DEA registration in good standing

• Up to date on CME requirements

• Experience in SNF, long-term care, or managed care settings preferred

• Comfort working with a culturally and linguistically diverse resident population
