Physician (Medical Directorship)
About The Position
Curana Health is seeking a mission-driven Physician to provide high-quality, person-centered care in skilled nursing facilities and senior living communities. The physician completes histories and physicals for new patients, conducts routine rounds at least weekly, partners with Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) on regulatory and complex visits, mentors APPs, closes quality gaps, and advocates for residents. Physicians represent Curana’s mission and values in the communities they serve and have substantial autonomy over their schedule, patient flow, and clinical practice. Full-time and part-time schedules are available. Physicians may also pursue Medical Directorship opportunities at partner facilities, with additional compensation. Medical Directors oversee resident care and quality outcomes; review clinical quality metrics and participate in monthly QAPI meetings; analyze CASPER and RTA data; address issues such as polypharmacy, infection control, and antibiotic stewardship; contribute to Project Improvement Plans; mentor Curana-employed APPs; support regulatory compliance and interactions with surveyors; and help ensure external attending physicians meet facility quality and compliance standards. Curana describes its model as offering flexible scheduling, clinical autonomy, meaningful geriatric care, structured onboarding and ongoing training, responsive clinical and administrative support, and data-driven tools including AI-powered insights, smart communication platforms, and modern EMR integrations. The role requires travel to and from one or more assigned facilities. A valid driver’s license, current auto insurance, and an acceptable driving record may be required in the future, with 30 days’ notice; periodic motor vehicle checks may then be conducted.
