About The Position

TinkBird Healthcare Staffing is seeking a Board-Certified Primary Care Physician (MD/DO) for a permanent position at an outpatient geriatric day program clinic in Greensboro, North Carolina. The physician will provide comprehensive primary care to frail, elderly patients through a collaborative, interdisciplinary model focused on maintaining health, independence, and quality of life.

The schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with one full administrative day per week that may be completed on-site or off-site. A colleague covers patient visits and phone calls during that administrative day. Rotating call coverage is currently estimated at one week every six weeks, with generally low call volume. Nurses typically handle first calls on weekdays, and a PRN triage nurse provides first-call coverage on weekends; the physician is contacted as needed.

The clinic averages 4–6 patients per day and has an estimated panel of approximately 70 participants. The physician will provide care across the outpatient clinic and affiliated settings, including four contracted facilities and, when appropriate, patients’ homes. Travel between locations may be required; eligible work-related travel expenses are reimbursed. The role may involve potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

The annual base salary is $230,000. Benefits include paid time off, a $5,000 annual continuing medical education allowance, insurance and retirement benefits, malpractice insurance and tail coverage, reimbursement for eligible DEA registration and licensing expenses, access to UpToDate, and memberships in North Carolina PACE and NPA organizations.
