Full Job Description
Role Purpose
The Skin Specialist (NY) will serve as the local clinical liaison between scanning clinicians and our International Expert Center (IEC) Dermatologists, signing off on specialist recommendations and operationalizing the necessary referrals, serving as a clinical escalation point for scanning clinicians who need guidance or Quality Improvement round our dermatology service line, and building scalable skin health care pathways as the business grows. This is a hybrid role split evenly between service line leadership and active scanning clinician work: built for a primary care clinician who wants to deepen dermatology expertise and expand their scope without stepping away from patient care. What You'll Deliver in the First 6-12 Months
Skin lesions, tagged for review by the scanning clinicians, and then reviewed by our dermatology specialists, are signed off on in a timely manner and referral care pathways for dermatologic findings are documented, implemented, and adopted across active US clinics, ensuring members get the care they need with the right level of specialist review and scanning clinicians have a clear path to specialist input. (Tech-Enabled, Human-Centered)
You've become a trusted bridge between scanning clinicians and dermatology specialists, providing reliable guidance on referrals and specialist recommendations. (Member-first, Always)
You maintain a 50% scanning clinician caseload alongside service line leadership duties, holding the same standard of patient care you held before taking on this role. (Impact, Not Activity)
Friction points in the dermatology service line are surfaced early and addressed directly with dermatologists and operational teams, not left to compound. (Optimistic Truth-seeking)
