Remote Emergency Medicine Physician
About The Position
The Emergency Medicine Physician supports MH FIRST, Monogram Health’s 24/7 virtual acute care clinic. The physician provides real-time clinical escalation support for urgent and complex patient concerns, partnering with registered nurses, clinical leadership, field-based clinicians, and operations. The role calls for strong emergency medicine judgment, calm communication in high-stress situations, and comfort providing virtual care to help avoid Emergency Department utilization when appropriate. The physician team supports incoming patient calls 24/7, including overnight, weekend, and holiday coverage for patients with multiple chronic conditions. The position is primarily remote, though presence in an office setting within the physician’s home state may be required. Weekly administrative time of 2–4 hours is allocated for required continuing medical education and documentation supporting multi-state licensure.
