Medical Director (MD or DO)

About Us

Care First Mobile Medical Group brings primary and transitional care directly to patients at home. Our Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants perform face-to-face visits for homebound and high-risk patients. We partner closely with home health agencies to make sure patients get the skilled nursing and therapy they need after discharge and for chronic conditions.

We are a growing, physician-supported practice that values responsive care, clear communication with agencies, and clinicians who like working in the community instead of behind a clinic desk.

The Role

The Medical Director is the physician leader of the practice. You will supervise and collaborate with our NPs and PAs, review and sign home health certifications and plans of care, and set the clinical standards our team follows. You will also be our physician voice with home health agencies, payers, and regulators.

This role suits a physician who wants meaningful clinical leadership in home-based care, with a mix of chart oversight, protocol development, and selected patient visits.

This role is mobile/fled-based with home office at 636 E. Broadway Ave. 3F Suite 25, San Diego, CA.
