About The Position

Wider Circle is seeking a Texas-licensed physician to serve as a consulting clinician for an early-stage care program. This role involves conducting initial virtual visits with members to assess their medical needs, barriers to care, and health goals. The physician will establish a clinical plan and care priorities, then collaborate with a dedicated care team (Community Health Workers, Licensed Clinical Social Workers) for ongoing support and continuity of care. This position is ideal for physicians interested in innovative care delivery, telehealth, and population health models, offering a focus on clinical guidance rather than longitudinal case management.
