HealthcareFull-time

At Curana Health, we’re on a mission to radically improve the health, happiness, and dignity of older adults. As a national leader in value-based care, we offer senior living communities and skilled nursing facilities a wide range of solutions—including on-site primary care services, Accountable Care Organizations, and Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans—proven to enhance health outcomes, streamline operations, and create new financial opportunities. Founded in 2021, we now serve 200,000+ seniors in 1,500+ communities across 32 states. Our team includes more than 1,000 clinicians alongside care coordinators, analysts, operators, and professionals from all backgrounds, all working together to deliver high-quality, proactive solutions for senior living operators and those they care for.

About the role

If you've spent a few years in traditional practice, you know the frustration: rigid schedules, administrative overload, and a model that often feels more like checkbox medicine than real patient care. Curana is built differently. Our physicians consistently say this is the best job they've ever had. Here, you get to practice medicine on your terms: setting your own schedule, managing your own patient flow, and spending your energy on the work that actually matters. We're looking for physicians who are ready for a better model, one that restores the autonomy, ownership, and fulfillment that drew you to medicine in the first place.

Responsibilities

  • Provide compassionate, evidence-based care by completing history and physicals on new patients and conducting routine rounding (minimum once per week).
  • Partner with Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) to manage regulatory and complex patient visits, ensuring compliance and clinical excellence.
  • Oversee APP performance, serving as a mentor and resource to elevate care delivery across your team.
  • Close quality gaps when prompted, driving measurable improvements in patient outcomes.
  • Serve as a trusted advocate for patients—championing what matters most to them.
  • Represent Curana Health’s mission and values as a clinical leader and ambassador in the communities you serve.

What Makes Curana Different

  • Flexibility that actually works. Curana is built to give physicians more control over how they structure their time. Our model reduces the operational friction that makes traditional practice feel rigid, so you can focus on patients without sacrificing your personal life.
  • True clinical autonomy. You have meaningful control over how you round, manage patient flow, and structure your day. Less protocol-driven overhead, more room for real clinical judgment.
  • Meaningful, complex work. Geriatric care is some of the most intellectually demanding and personally rewarding work in medicine. You're caring for the whole person, often navigating complexity that requires real clinical judgment.
  • Infrastructure that supports you. Curana provides structured onboarding, ongoing training, and responsive support teams. You’ll get help with charting, adapting to value-based care models, and everything else that typically slows physicians down.
  • Data-driven tools built for your patients. AI-powered insights, smart communication platforms, and modern EMR integrations help you understand and manage your patient population more effectively.

Benefits

  • Unlimited earning potential with competitive compensation models.
  • Medical Directorship opportunities with leadership and influence.
  • Autonomy of practice backed by strong clinical and administrative support.
  • Cutting-edge care model that empowers you to transform senior healthcare.
  • Data-driven tools & AI solutions to better understand and manage patient needs.
  • Streamlined communication with smart texting and modern tech platforms.
  • Professional development including CME support, APP mentorship, and leadership training.
  • Quality incentives with bonuses tied to patient outcomes and care excellence.
  • Work-life balance supported by generous paid time off.
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Company-paid short- and long-term disability.
  • Comprehensive malpractice coverage.
  • UpToDate subscription for clinical decision support.

Requirements

  • MD or DO degree from an accredited medical school.
  • Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Geriatrics, or Hospital Medicine.
  • Current unrestricted license to practice medicine in the state of employment.
  • Active DEA License.
  • Proficiency with EMR systems.
  • Compassionate, motivated, and a strong collaborator.

Depending on the amount of travel required, Curana may determine that a valid driver’s license, current auto insurance, and an acceptable driving record are required, with 30 days' notice provided.
