About Hopscotch Primary Care

We believe great healthcare should be accessible to all people across all communities. Today, almost 20% of Americans live in a rural community, yet only 11% of physicians practice in those same communities. We are on a mission to transform healthcare in rural America.

We provide high-quality primary care tailored to meet the needs of our patients through our robust care model and comprehensive care team, delivering care in our clinics, and across settings, and wrapping resources around the patients who need them most. Our patients and the care teams who serve them sit at the center of everything we do at Hopscotch.

Lead a care team that's rethinking primary care

At Hopscotch Primary Care, we deliver the kind of care we'd want for our own families — high-touch, coordinated, and unhurried. We serve seniors in Western North Carolina with a team-based model built around one goal: the right care, in the right setting, at the right time.

Medical Director Role

This is a hands-on leadership role: part exceptional physician, part team builder, part culture champion. You'll lead the clinical team, care for your own panel of patients, and set the standard for how the Hopscotch care model comes to life every day.

What you'll do

• Lead your clinical care team — Advanced Practitioners, Medical Assistants, Care Managers, and Community Health Workers — in delivering the Hopscotch care model
• Care for your own panel of senior patients in our comprehensive, interdisciplinary model, delivering best-in-class outcomes
• Coach your providers on panel management, documentation, and appropriate use of indirect care time — and hold the team accountable to a high standard
• Partner with your Care Center Manager to outperform on the metrics that matter: patient experience, STARS/HEDIS, care coordination, utilization, and cost of care
• Champion talent, culture, clinical innovation, and compliance across your center, acting as the standard-bearer for the Hopscotch care model
• Represent Hopscotch in the community through education, engagement, and events such as health fairs and conferences

Who you are

• Board certification in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine
• 2+ years of post-residency experience, including experience managing teams
• An active, non-probationary North Carolina medical license (or willingness to obtain) and authorization to work in the US

It's a plus if you have:

• Experience with the Medicare population and at-risk / high-acuity panels
• Familiarity with value-based or other innovative clinical care models
• A track record of using data and insights to drive clinical action
• Experience leading, teaching, and developing others, both formally and informally

The way you lead

• High EQ. You build trust quickly with patients, providers, and partners — and you lean into the hard conversations rather than around them
• Steady in ambiguity. You bring structure and a proactive, prioritized approach to a fast-paced, evolving environment
• Humble and accountable. You lead by rolling up your sleeves, hold yourself and your team to a high bar, and set the tone for others to do the same
