Health Coach Foreign Medical Grads welcome to apply
About The Position
Foreign Medical Grads welcome to apply. This role offers the opportunity for foreign medical graduates to utilize their degree in the US while working towards residency, PA, or NP school. Unlike other positions, this role provides direct patient interaction with your own panel of patients, monthly case meetings with US physicians and nurse practitioners, and hands-on experience in a US primary care practice. No prior US experience is required. Tru Medical is an award-winning adult primary care practice serving East Williamsburg and Clinton Hill in Brooklyn. We are a NYS-accredited Patient-Centered Medical Home, a multi-year insurance quality award winner, and our patients rate us 4.87 stars. Our providers offer primary care, women's health, chronic care for diabetes and hypertension, ultrasound, walk-in visits and telemedicine. Our mission is Quality Affordable Care for All. Many of our patients are Spanish-speaking, and for a lot of them we are the first office where someone listened. We are small enough that providers and managers know your name, and we are growing, so people who live our values move up.
