About the role

We are seeking obesity medicine physicians to provide longitudinal telehealth care for patients with obesity, and to collaborate with advanced practice professionals and registered dietitians towards exceptional team-based care. Work is remote, and schedules can be flexible.

The physician will work closely with a supportive care team and have protected time for administrative duties. We are currently accepting applications for physicians licensed in Mississippi, Missouri, or Alabama, or those who hold an active Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) designation or possess an official Letter of Qualification (LOQ). Licensure in multiple states is a nice-to-have but not required. This role will include participation in a rotating after-hours call schedule with Form Health clinical leadership and will have a reduced clinical schedule the weeks of on-call coverage.
