Virtual / Telemedicine Geriatrics Job in San Francisco, California
This geriatrics position is offered as a virtual arrangement, meaning you would care for patients primarily or entirely through telemedicine rather than a daily on-site presence. Scheduling under this model is often more flexible than site-based practice, and you would practice under the licensing requirements applicable to the states involved. This same role is also listed under contract and non-clinical case management structures, so the virtual option is one of several ways this opportunity can be structured.
The financial structure for this role is contract-based, with the offering tier listed as Open. There is no patient call rotation and no emergency department call associated with this position.
- Board certification is required
- Open to MD and DO graduates of American medical schools
- Open to physicians ranging from recently trained to very experienced
- U.S. citizenship required
Given the virtual format, patients served may be located across communities of varying sizes, from smaller towns to major metropolitan areas, rather than tied to a single local population base.
