About The Position

CVS Health’s MinuteClinic is hiring a clinic-based primary care provider to deliver affordable, accessible, high-quality care to patients, families, and communities. The role focuses on in-person care; virtual visits may be conducted from the clinic during periods of lower onsite patient volume when they do not delay or interfere with in-person care. Providers receive clinical support, collaborative resources, evidence-based guidelines, and opportunities to practice holistically and at the top of their license.

The provider delivers primary and family care, including assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management of acute and chronic conditions. The role also includes preventive services, diagnostic testing, wellness and chronic disease support, coordination of care, and routine clinic operations. Physical presence at the assigned clinic is required. Charting and follow-up are completed during the scheduled shift, with no work taken home.
