Responsibilities

Direct medication protocols, oversee physical examinations, and actively participate in weekly treatment team meetings to ensure every patient receives comprehensive, life-saving care tailored to their unique recovery journey.
Provide hands-on training, chart reviews, and continuous mentorship to nurses, NPs, PAs, and other physicians.
Participate in Quarterly Board Meetings to help shape strategic plans, quality assurance initiatives, and clinical protocols.
Guide patients toward comprehensive wellness, seamlessly coordinating referrals to primary care providers for broader medical needs.
Provide expert medical oversight and clinical supervision for a multidisciplinary team (NPs, PAs, Clinical Nurses, and Medical Assistants).
Ensure comprehensive admission physicals, health examinations, and lab reviews are executed to the highest standard, utilizing physician extenders effectively.
Direct patient medication protocols, including issuing change orders, guiding nursing staff on dosage adjustments, and ensuring uninterrupted care (including supporting medication labeling protocols when pharmacy staff is unavailable).
Serve as the clinical escalation point for emergency management of patient care.
Lead physician recruitment efforts, interviewing and selecting the next generation of compassionate providers for our team.
Maintain rigorous clinical standards, ensuring the program complies with all federal, state, and local regulations regarding medically monitored treatment.
Consult seamlessly with the Corporate Medical Director to align local clinic outcomes with broader organizational goals.
