Telehealth Physician

About Groove Most older adults with osteoporosis fall through the cracks of traditional medicine. They get a DEXA, a prescription, maybe a referral to PT for six visits...and then they're on their own. Groove exists to close that gap. We're a remote, PT-led care model giving older adults with chronic musculoskeletal conditions an ongoing relationship with a clinical team that knows them, meets them where they are, and helps them get stronger over time. We're early-stage, small, and building the kind of care most clinicians got into this field to provide. The Role We're hiring a California-licensed physician to join our care team part-time as a telehealth physician. You'll conduct intake visits, place safety guardrails, refer patients into our PT-led program, manage medications when appropriate, and provide ongoing physician oversight as patients progress. This isn't a traditional physician role. The PT is the expert in MSK programming and drives the long-term care plan. Your job is to bring medical judgment, education, and safety to the model. The right person derives professional satisfaction from the PT and patient's success — not from sitting at the top of the hierarchy. You'll work directly alongside our clinical leadership and founding team. Who You Are A collaborative generalist. Comfortable being the "filter," placing safety guardrails, providing education on diet, movement, and medications as appropriate. You derive satisfaction from the PT and the patient's success. Low-ego. You see the PT as the MSK expert and want to enable the workflow rather than recreate a traditional physician-led hierarchy. Empathetic . You realize the goal isn't just the next DEXA result. You're comfortable prioritizing lifestyle, function, and patient goals. Clinically grounded . You thrive in the rhythm of digital care delivery, can find flow state executing a workflow at volume, are disciplined with documentation and clinical time, and are a steward of current standards in bone health management — including fall prevention and functional aging. Curious about telehealth and digital health . You're excited about new tools and care models, not just tolerant. Background 5+ years of clinical experience post-residency, with: Specialties : Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Geriatrics, or Endocrinology preferred Settings : Telehealth, primary care, geriatrics, or digital health Credentials: MD or DO; an active California license is required Bonus : Multi-state licensure or IMLC eligibility; experience with bone health, osteoporosis, or older adult chronic disease management What This Role Is (and Isn't) This isn't a traditional clinic role. There's no front desk, no back-to-back 15-minute slots, no rounding. You'll see Groove patients via telehealth, work asynchronously with the PT team, and have autonomy in how you structure your time. It's also not a role for someone who wants to lead clinical care for chronic MSK conditions in a traditional way. Our care model puts the PT in the driver's seat for ongoing programming. If that's a problem for you, this isn't the right fit.
