• Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) Leadership: Lead weekly complex case conferences with RN care managers, social workers, pharmacists, and care navigators to optimize care plans and address social determinants of health (SDOH).
• Provider Supervision & Mentorship: Supervise, mentor, and evaluate home-based field clinicians (including Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and field nurses) to ensure high-quality, evidence-based care in the home setting.
• MSSP Quality & Performance Metrics: Partner with executive leadership to align home-based clinical workflows with key performance indicators, including Annual Wellness Visit completion rates, preventive gap closure, and HCC risk adjustment documentation.
• Direct Clinical Care (Optional/Partial): Provide targeted, high-acuity home visits or virtual telemedicine consultations for highly complex, unstable, or escalating patients when needed.

Minimum Qualifications

• Education & Licensure: Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) from an accredited institution. Active, unrestricted State Medical License and Board Certification in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, or Geriatrics in California.
• Experience: Minimum of 3–5 years of experience as a Hospitalist or in an inpatient acute care setting required. Minimum of 2 years in a clinical leadership or medical director role within a population health, ACO, managed care, or home-based primary care framework.
• Technical & Strategic Skills: Deep understanding of Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) rules, value-based care mechanics, and HCC coding practices. Proficiency with Electronic Health Records (EHR) and population health analytics platforms.
• Core Competencies: Strong interdisciplinary leadership skills, exceptional clinical judgment in managing acute-on-chronic illness without immediate hospital resources, and a strong commitment to geriatrics and home-based medicine.
