  • Prescribe non-controlled medications for obesity and diabetes, both for direct care and in coordination with APPs.
  • Conduct weekly 30-minute collaborative meetings and 30 minutes of asynchronous communication with each assigned Endocrine-Specialized APP to review cases, address clinical challenges, and provide mentorship.
  • Ensure clinical documentation, protocols, and treatment pathways are consistently followed, with a focus on guidelines for managing complex diabetic populations.
  • Support the professional development of colleagues through clinical growth initiatives, feedback, and continuing education in endocrinology and obesity medicine.
  • Participate in team-based care initiatives and contribute to a culture of collaboration and high-quality care.
  • Attend relevant departmental meetings and contribute to quality improvement efforts within the diabetes and obesity medicine program.

Requirements

  • Board certification in Endocrinology by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).
  • Highly preferred: Certification by the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) or demonstrated extensive clinical experience (minimum 3 years) in obesity medicine and pharmacotherapy, including older-generation oral and newer injectable medications.
  • Active and unrestricted medical state license in any U.S. state, with preference for Virginia (VA), New York (NY), or Massachusetts (MA). Multi-state practice capability required; applicants must either hold a valid Letter of Qualification (LOQ) through the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) or meet prerequisites to secure one rapidly upon hire.
  • Demonstrated competency and comfort in managing patients with complex comorbidities, including CKD, ESRD, and cardiovascular conditions.
  • Expertise in advanced diabetes management, including the use of CGMs, insulin pumps, and complex insulin regimens.
  • Strong interest in mentoring, teaching, and collaborating with Endocrine-Specialized APPs and Registered Dietitians specializing in diabetes.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Adherence to evidence-based treatments, behavioral interventions, nutrition, and pharmacotherapy for endocrine disorders and obesity.
