Physician (Medical Directorship)

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 be a trusted clinical leader for your patients, a mentor to Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), and an advocate for the residents in your care, while enjoying flexibility and independence that’s rare in medicine today. Full-time or part-time schedules are 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. Medical Directors help shape the quality and culture of care at the facility level, working alongside facility leadership to drive better outcomes for residents.

• Oversee the 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, helping build a stronger, more consistent clinical team on the ground.
• Support facility leadership with regulatory compliance, including engaging with surveyors to ensure state and federal guidelines are met.
• Help ensure that external attending physicians meet the quality and compliance standards of the facility.

Medical Directorships come with additional compensation and are a natural path for physicians seeking to expand their clinical leadership footprint without leaving patient care behind.

What Makes Curana Different

• Flexibility that actually works. Curana is built to give physicians more control over how they structure their time, reducing operational friction 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 with less protocol-driven overhead and more room for clinical judgment.
• Meaningful, complex work. Geriatric care is intellectually demanding and personally rewarding, requiring clinical judgment to care for the whole person.
• Infrastructure that supports you. Curana provides structured onboarding, ongoing training, and responsive support teams to help with charting, value-based care models, and more.
• Data-driven tools built for your patients. AI-powered insights, smart communication platforms, and modern EMR integrations help you manage your patient population more effectively.
