Internal Medicine Physician Advisor to Obesity Medicine Startup

About Us We are building a next-generation virtual obesity medicine clinic that integrates three proven components into one patient experience: physician-prescribed GLP-1 medications, virtual dietitian coaching, and medically tailored meals. While we are a specialty clinic, our success depends on our ability to integrate seamlessly with the primary care ecosystem. We aim to be a trusted partner and force multiplier for PCPs, not a replacement. This venture is being launched out of the venture studio of Healthcare Shares, an early-stage healthcare venture capital firm. The Opportunity: Bridging Specialty Obesity Care and Primary Care We are seeking an innovative and experienced Family Medicine or Internal Medicine physician leader to join our Board of Advisors. This advisor will serve as the crucial "voice of the PCP" within our organization. The central challenge we aim to solve with your help is: How do we build a specialty virtual clinic that enhances, rather than fragments, patient care? Your role is to ensure our model is designed with the realities of a busy primary care practice in mind, from referral and co-management workflows to communication and data sharing. You will help us build a platform that PCPs love to partner with because it solves a major problem for them and their patients. Responsibilities Advise on the design of a seamless referral, onboarding, and co-management process that is intuitive and efficient for primary care physicians and their staff. Provide practical, real-world insight into the challenges and opportunities of implementing a specialized virtual care model within the existing primary care landscape. Guide the development of our communication tools, progress reports, and potential EMR integration strategies to ensure clear and effective collaboration with our PCP partners. Help shape our partnership model and value proposition for primary care groups, ACOs, and direct primary care (DPC) practices. Participate in quarterly virtual advisory board meetings, ensuring the primary care perspective is central to our strategic decisions. Ideal Candidate Profile MD or DO with board certification in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine. Leadership experience within a primary care setting, such as a medical director, practice owner, or leader within an ACO or large physician group. Experience with and a passion for care delivery innovation, digital health tools, and team-based care models. A deep understanding of PCP workflows, reimbursement challenges, and the importance of care coordination. A collaborative and pragmatic leader who can translate high-level strategy into practical, physician-friendly solutions.
