Family Medicine or Internal Medicine backgrounds with infectious disease expertise are strongly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide high-quality outpatient medical care while meeting established productivity benchmarks

• Maintain a patient load of approximately 14–18 patients per day

• Diagnose and treat acute and chronic infectious diseases, including HIV and STIs

• Manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, COPD, asthma, and hyperlipidemia

• Oversee patient scheduling strategies to reduce no-shows and support clinic efficiency

• Ensure accurate, timely documentation and E&M coding (same day or within 72 hours)

• Review laboratory results, imaging, and consultant reports promptly

• Process prescription renewals and patient communications within defined timelines

• Collaborate closely with nursing staff, care coordinators, and administrative teams

• Supervise and support mid-level providers (NPs/PAs), including chart review and clinical guidance

• Participate in after-hours call rotation as assigned

• Utilize protected administrative time (4 hours weekly) for leadership and oversight duties

• Support quality initiatives, patient retention efforts, and reporting requirements
