Job Description Summary

How will you make an impact & Requirements

What your day actually looks like
  • See 10-15 patients with appointments ranging from 20 to 60 minutes - time to actually listen, think, and treat.
  • Work alongside a dedicated Whole Health Coach embedded in your care center, addressing behavioral, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors in-house.
  • Onsite lab and pharmacy - no referral friction, no waiting on outside results to make a clinical decision.
  • Measured on outcomes and population health - not procedure volume or RVUs.
  • Provide prevention, chronic care, acute care, and disease management within a true medical home model.
  • Participate in clinical leadership: quality improvement, care model development, and peer community.


"Having the support to really focus on preventive care is one of the main reasons I love working at Vera. We're the first place people go when they need care, so we have an amazing opportunity to make a big impact on their health."
