Physician

About the role

Curana Health is seeking a mission-driven Physician to deliver high-quality, person-centered care across skilled nursing facilities and senior living communities. You’ll serve as a trusted clinical leader for your patients, a mentor to Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), and an advocate for the residents in your care. The role offers flexibility and independence rarely found in traditional practice, with full-time or part-time schedules available.

Responsibilities

• Provide compassionate, evidence-based care by completing history and physicals on new patients and conducting routine rounding (minimum once per week).
• Partner with 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.

Medical Directorship Opportunities

For physicians interested in a greater leadership role, Curana offers Medical Directorship opportunities at partner facilities. These roles include additional compensation and allow you to shape the quality and culture of care at the facility level.

• Oversee clinical care delivered to facility residents and take accountability for quality outcomes.
• Lead clinical quality metric review, including attending monthly QAPI meetings, analyzing CASPER and RTA data, and addressing areas like polypharmacy, infection control, and antibiotic stewardship.
• Identify opportunities for improvement and contribute to Project Improvement Plans (PIPs).
• Mentor Curana-employed APPs to build a stronger, more consistent clinical team.
• Support facility leadership with regulatory compliance, including engaging with surveyors to ensure state and federal guidelines are met.
• Ensure external attending physicians meet the facility’s quality and compliance standards.

What Makes Curana Different

• Flexibility that actually works: Our model reduces operational friction, giving you control over your schedule and patient flow without sacrificing work-life balance.
• True clinical autonomy: You have meaningful control over how you round, manage patient flow, and structure your day, with less protocol-driven overhead.
• Meaningful, complex work: Geriatric care is intellectually demanding and personally rewarding, focusing on the whole person rather than a single condition.
• Infrastructure that supports you: Structured onboarding, ongoing training, and responsive support teams help with charting, value-based care models, and more.
• Data-driven tools: AI-powered insights, smart communication platforms, and modern EMR integrations help you manage your patient population effectively.
