Part-Time Primary Care Physician (Preventive & Lifestyle Medicine Focus)

The Opportunity

We’re building something new for New York City’s independent drivers — the people who keep the city moving but are often left out of traditional healthcare systems. Together with the Independent Drivers Guild and the Workers Benefit Fund (WBF), we launched the Worker Healthy Living Program (WHLP) — a lifestyle medicine–informed program focused on helping drivers live healthier, longer lives through food, movement, sleep, stress management, and community.

What You’ll Do

• Provide primary care services to program participants
• Lead and support group medical visits focused on the pillars of Lifestyle Medicine including nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management
• Collaborate closely with advanced practice clinicians, dietitians, health coaches, and social workers to deliver whole-person care
• Oversee chronic disease prevention and management strategies for conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and hyperlipidemia
• Help design, refine, and scale clinical workflows that make care more accessible, sustainable, and patient-centered
• Support implementation and optimization of digital and AI-enabled tools to track progress, streamline communication, and improve outcomes
• Pilot new models of outreach, mobile care delivery, and community-based primary care
• Deliver care through a hybrid model: in-person clinic days supplemented by up to 2 remote telehealth days per week — giving you meaningful flexibility while maintaining continuity of care
• Serve as a trusted clinical presence at community events and enrollment activations
• Provide real-time feedback on patient-facing tools, educational content, and engagement strategies
• Contribute clinical insight to the design and deployment of AI-enabled tools that support clinical decision-making

• Experience serving underserved or marginalized populations
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and cross-cultural skills
• Comfort working across mobile, field-based, in-person, and telehealth/virtual care settings
• Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with lifestyle medicine, preventive care, and chronic disease management
• Background in community health, mobile medicine, or value-based care models
• Familiarity with group medical visits or team-based care
• Bilingual
• Interest in digital health and openness to adopting AI-enabled clinical tools
• Lived experience that reflects the communities we serve

Work Environment

• Telehealth is core to how we care for our patients.
• This is a hybrid role spanning in-person clinic days, telehealth visits from home, community organizations, and mobile care across New York City.
• Physicians can expect up to 2 days per week of remote telehealth work, subject to clinic scheduling needs — providing real flexibility without sacrificing the in-person connection that makes this model work.
• You’ll also collaborate in person from Akido’s Williamsburg, Brooklyn headquarters, using the office as a home base for care team connection, planning, and program building.
• Flexibility is essential, as the role may involve nontraditional hours — including early mornings, evenings, or weekends — to best serve our patient population.
