Chief Medical Officer
The Role This Primary Care Physician will serve as a clinical leader and direct care provider within this PACE program. You’ll manage the ongoing care of older adults through an interdisciplinary team model — balancing autonomy, team collaboration, and participant‑centered care.
You’re not just treating patients — you’re leading the IDT (Interdisciplinary Team), influencing outcomes, and helping seniors maintain independence in their communities. This is the perfect fit for a physician who’s passionate about geriatrics, integrated care, and working in a model that allows more time and connection with each patient.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct comprehensive initial, semi‑annual, and annual assessments for PACE participants.
Lead and collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to develop and maintain individualized care plans.
Provide primary and ongoing medical care to assigned participants — both in‑clinic and in nursing home settings as needed.
Supervise and collaborate with Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants.
Manage hospital and emergency coordination, including discharge planning and follow‑up.
Provide telephonic after‑hours coverage on a rotating schedule.
Participate in quality improvement (QAPI) initiatives and clinical meetings.
Support their mission to promote autonomy, dignity, and quality of life for frail and elderly adults.
Ideal Background
Education:
M.D. or D.O. with active California medical license.
Training:
Board Certified or Board Eligible in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine; Geriatrics training preferred.
Experience:
Minimum 1 year working with frail or elderly populations (PACE, SNF, Geriatrics clinic, or similar).
Demonstrated ability to thrive in a team‑based care model.
Certifications:
DEA certificate
Basic Life Support (BLS)
Skills:
Excellent communication and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.
Leadership ability with NPs/PAs.
Strong EMR documentation and follow‑through.
Culture & Model This PACE program is one of California’s most respected PACE programs — offering a capitation‑based model of care focused on outcomes and quality, not volume. Physicians here get to build long‑term relationships with their participants, work alongside other seasoned geriatric professionals, and have a real impact on quality of life.
