Physical Therapist Clinician, Doctor of Physical Therapy

AWARE HEALTH • Phoenix, AZ

1d • $90,000 - $100,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Aware Health is a rapidly scaling health tech startup revolutionizing musculoskeletal (MSK) care. Nearly 50% of the workforce experiences MSK pain, from acute issues like muscle strains to chronic conditions. Unfortunately, many are misdiagnosed and treated passively with opioids, injections, or surgery, often leading to unnecessary risks and costs. At Aware Health, we empower Doctors of Physical Therapy to lead the care process, providing immediate diagnosis and evidence-based treatment to patients. You will primarily manage your diverse caseload through our cutting-edge telehealth platform, ensuring people receive high-quality care wherever they are. This is a role where you will truly practice at the top of your license, acting as the primary MSK expert, leading clinical decisions, and steering patients away from unnecessary high-cost procedures. If you are a resourceful, high-performing PT ready to escape the limitations of traditional clinic settings and shape the future of conservative MSK care, we want you.

Requirements

• Must hold a Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) and be actively licensed to practice in Arizona.
• Must be based in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, willing to work from our Tempe HQ 1-2 days/week, and willing to travel monthly for onsite clinical care and events.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate and treat a diverse and complex caseload across all MSK domains (spine, extremities, pelvic health, TMJ, etc.) via telehealth.
• Conduct meticulous differential diagnosis and triage, confidently ruling out non-MSK causes and determining the need for referral or imaging based on evidence-based guidelines.
• Guide patients through comprehensive health and wellness programs beyond passive treatments.
• Clearly explain diagnoses, prognoses, and treatment plans and adjust them to meet patients’ evolving needs.
• Work directly with the Customer Success team to lead initiatives focused on maximizing customer engagement and informing effective marketing tactics.
• Maintain strict organization to track patient progress, outcomes, and drive internal metrics.
• Effectively communicate and collaborate with team members and patients.
• Demonstrate a growth mindset and flexibility, including occasional schedule adjustments (evenings/weekends) for on-site events or team needs.

Benefits

• Base Salary: $90,000 - $100,000 annually, based on experience and certifications.

• Cross-Functional Impact: Play an active role in shaping the business outside of patient care. Opportunities exist to collaborate directly with our Product, Engineering, and Sales teams, helping to define technology features, refine clinical workflows, and contribute to published outcomes data.
