Geriatrics-Focused / Community-Based Care

We are seeking a mission-driven MD/DO physician trained in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine to provide comprehensive primary care to a medically complex senior population. This role is ideal for a physician interested in geriatrics, care coordination, and relationship-based medicine outside of a high-volume primary care office setting.

The physician will serve as a primary care provider within a multidisciplinary model designed to support older adults who qualify for nursing home–level care but remain living in the community.

Practice Setting

• Community-based senior care model
• Patients are seen primarily at a central care site, with occasional home or assisted living visits
• Slower pace than traditional outpatient primary care
• Focus on complex, high-acuity geriatric patients
• Strong emphasis on patient and family education

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver longitudinal primary care to enrolled senior patients in community and residential settings
• Perform comprehensive history and physical exams for new patients and routine reassessments for established patients
• Evaluate and manage acute medical issues and chronic conditions
• Participate actively in interdisciplinary team meetings, including care planning and case conferences
• Collaborate closely with nurses, nurse practitioners, specialists, and social services to ensure continuity of care
• Communicate with families and caregivers regarding patient condition and care plans
• Coordinate transitions of care, including post-hospital follow-up and discharge planning
• Monitor patients hospitalized outside the network and assist with care coordination when appropriate
• Maintain timely and accurate documentation in the electronic medical record
• Review consultant recommendations and implement care changes promptly
• Participate in quality, utilization, and regulatory meetings as needed
• Provide clinical oversight and mentorship to advanced practice providers
• Participate in an after-hours call rotation (phone-based only)

Schedule & Workload

• Monday–Friday schedule
• Standard business hours (no overnight shifts)
• Average ~10 patients per day
• Mix of comprehensive assessments and acute visits
• Occasional home or assisted living visits (approximately 2–3 times per month)

Candidate Qualifications

• MD or DO required
• Completion of residency in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine
• Board Certified or Board Eligible
• Geriatric experience strongly preferred (training available for the right candidate)
• Comfortable caring for medically complex, frail, elderly patients
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Team-oriented mindset with the ability to collaborate across multiple disciplines
• Mission-driven approach to patient care
• Ability to travel locally within the Bronx and surrounding areas
• Bilingual skills are a plus but not required
• Clean professional background
