Medical Director

Position Overview

This is not your typical physician leadership role. AbsoluteCare is seeking a dynamic physician leader to put the principles of population health into action for our medically complex and socially vulnerable members. Due to the effects of trauma and poverty, many members suffer from infectious diseases – including HIV, Hepatitis C, and complex wound infections. Our integrated care teams, composed of physicians, advanced practice practitioners, nurse care managers, social workers, behavioral health therapists, peer counselors, dietitians, pharmacists, and community outreach workers, work together to transform lives.

Working within a matrix organization, the Medical Director will collaborate closely with the National Directors to implement process improvements, enhance care standards, and exceed discipline-specific professional practice guidelines. As a dyad partner with the Practice Administrator, this role is responsible for the overall outcomes, quality, utilization, and operation of the medical center and providers. The ideal candidate exhibits dynamism, humility, clinical acumen, collaborative spirit, and strong leadership skills.
