About The Position

The Division of General Internal Medicine and Department of Family Medicine have partnered to open a Virtual Primary Care Practice. The Virtual Primary Care Practice supports CU primary care clinics (15 clinics) with virtual same day appointments and provides a primarily virtual primary care experience for a group of empaneled patients. The General Internal Medicine (GIM) Advanced Practice Provider (APP) in this role will be responsible for providing full spectrum virtual care including, but not limited to, chronic disease management, acute and “urgent” care, hospital follow up care, and wellness and preventative care for adult patients. The APP evaluates, assesses, diagnoses, prescribes and educates patients regarding their particular illness or chronic disease. The position provides high quality primary care to all patients, evaluates and treats acute and chronic problems for the patient population, completes histories, thorough assessments on all patients with accurate and complete documentation reflected in medical records and collaborates and communicates with other departments and colleagues, such as the pharmacy, to ensure optimal patient virtual care, including via telehealth appointments. Depending on the needs and growth of the Virtual Primary Care Practice, a small portion of traditional, in-clinic primary care in the Denver Metro area may be necessary.
