Dermatologist - West Los Angeles
About The Position
Southern California Permanente Medical Group (SCPMG) is a physician-led partnership with strong values that support a patient-centered and evidence-based approach to medicine. It provides physicians with the resources and support systems needed to ensure every physician can focus on practicing medicine, connecting with one another, and providing the best possible care to their patients. Kaiser WLA is looking for a per-diem general dermatologist interested in medical dermatology. The dermatologist would be scheduled 14 patients per half-day, with routine procedures interspersed throughout the day (no excisions or cosmetics). Physicians are expected to care for pediatric patients in addition to adults. Our expectation is for a 3 month or longer commitment, and several shifts worked per month. We maintain outpatient operations both at the Venice Medical Office Building and the Baldwin Hills – Crenshaw Medical Office Building; exact site availability will vary based on workday(s) requested and staff availability. WLA physicians are team players; they are collaborative, friendly, and work well together. Accessing experienced consultants, utilizing a diverse formulary, and navigating Epic medical records makes care here better for patients and working here more streamlined for physicians. WLA’s patient population is diverse, and the dermatologists see a wide variety of dermatologic conditions. Providing value-based, evidence-based care and addressing healthcare disparities are central to our work. We care about making patients feel satisfied, and we take the extra time and effort when needed. We have our own Mohs surgeon and dermatopathologist. KP is also at the forefront of incorporating AI-guided workflows into note drafting, patient scheduling and appointment reminders, and refill automation. Job descriptions are subject to change to meet the operational needs of the department and medical center.
