No nights or weekends. 774 Broadway, Brooklyn 11206, by the J/M at Flushing Ave. You earned a medical degree abroad and want to use it in the US while you work toward residency, PA or NP school. Most jobs open to you keep you far from patients. This one gives you your own panel of patients, monthly case meetings with US physicians and nurse practitioners, and hands-on experience in a US primary care practice. No prior US experience is required. Why Tru Medical Tru Medical is an award-winning adult primary care practice in East Williamsburg and Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. We are a NYS-accredited Patient-Centered Medical Home, a multi-year insurance quality award winner, and our patients rate us 4.87 stars. Our mission is Quality Affordable Care for All. Many of our patients are Spanish-speaking, and for many of them we are the first office where someone listened. We are small enough that providers and managers know your name, and growing, so people who live our values move up. How we work: Trust, Respect, Understanding We listen, repeat back, and clarify before we act. We know our patients' names. We stay kind and keep helping even when someone is having a hard day and taking it out on us. We ask for help early when something isn't working, and we know when to step away so the patient gets a better outcome. When there is no patient in front of us, we ask a teammate, "what can I help with?" This isn't for you if: You see coaching as beneath your training. Our patients need someone who listens and explains, not someone who lectures. This is a non-physician role; you will not diagnose or prescribe. You take it personally when a patient is upset. You would rather guess than ask, or hide a mistake than flag it. You are looking for a short stop. We are building a team that stays.
