About The Position

Wider Circle is seeking a multi-state licensed physician to serve as our Telehealth Physician Lead. This role provides clinical oversight, quality assurance, and hands-on leadership for our growing telehealth care program. Reporting to the VP of Care Delivery, you will own clinical execution and iteration — conducting virtual visits, leading shared medical appointments, training and overseeing a team of physicians, and continuously refining workflows to ensure high-quality, coordinated care. This is a hybrid clinical-leadership role: part practicing telehealth physician, part program builder. You'll see patients yourself, facilitate community-based shared medical appointments, and set the standard for how our clinical team operates. After initial visits, ongoing support is provided by a care team including Community Health Workers and Licensed Clinical Social Workers, allowing clinicians to focus on clinical guidance rather than longitudinal case management. This role is ideal for physicians interested in innovative care delivery, telehealth, community health, and population health models that extend beyond traditional office-based practice.

Deep understanding of community health, and Social Determinants of Health (SDoH)
Demonstrated experience using data to improve clinical quality and auditing documentation for compliance
