General Medicine
Virtual Physician (Emergency Medicine)
Physicians provide asynchronous text-based chat care for adult patients across the U.S., practicing broad general medicine with diagnostic ambiguity and clinical synthesis. They maintain clinical ownership and continuity throughout the decision-making process, coordinating labs, imaging, specialist e-consults, and guiding patients to appropriate in-person care when needed.
Key Responsibilities
- • Provide asynchronous text-based chat care for adult patients across the U.S.
- • Triage and practice broad general medicine across a wide range of acuity and clinical complexity
- • Order and interpret labs and imaging, and coordinate specialist e-consults
- • Recommend and guide patients to appropriate in-person care when needed (operations teams handle provider identification, booking, and scheduling)
- • Help patients identify and coordinate the next clinically relevant steps — not just address the presenting complaint
- • Maintain clinical ownership and continuity throughout the decision-making process
- • Contribute feedback to improve clinical workflows and support tools over time
Required
- • MD or DO, board-certified or board-eligible in Emergency Medicine
- • Active, unrestricted medical license in at least one U.S. state
- • Comfort practicing broad general medicine with diagnostic ambiguity and clinical synthesis
- • Strong written communication skills and a collaborative, patient-centered approach to care
- • Willingness to engage with modern clinical tools and workflows (prior telehealth experience helpful, not required)
- • Ability to commit to a minimum of 12 hours per week
- • Availability to cover at least one weekend shift per month
- • Eligibility to treat Medicare and Medicaid patients
- • A clean record of practice, with no sanctions, suspensions, or history of malpractice
Preferred
- • Maintain an active ED or hospital practice
- • Are seeking a flexible secondary clinical role without compromising standards
- • Value continuity, follow-through, and patient partnership
- • Enjoy helping patients navigate complex decisions beyond isolated visits
- • Appreciate tools that provide full context and reduce administrative overhead
Benefits & Perks
- • 1099 flexibility designed to fit alongside primary clinical roles
- • Exceptional clinical support tools clinicians describe as the best they've used
- • Full operations support for coordination and administrative tasks
- • A selective, growing community of thoughtful clinicians
Role Description
This is not high-volume, protocol-driven telehealth. Physicians practice as part of a broader care model that includes asynchronous and synchronous virtual care, coordination of labs and imaging, specialist e-consults, and referrals to in-person care when appropriate. Clinicians remain involved in guiding patients through decisions and next steps, rather than handing care off after a single interaction.
The role is designed to fit naturally alongside an existing hospital, ED, or outpatient practice, offering flexible, meaningful clinical work supported by exceptional tools and a white-glove operational backbone.
