Your clinical expertise will directly improve patient outcomes through comprehensive assessments, evidence-based management, and close care coordination. You will have extensive physician support and work within a healthy, collegial environment that values clinician wellbeing andprofessional growth. Duties •Round daily on assigned patients across acute care, skilled nursing, and assisted living settings, adapting your clinical approach to the acuity and care level of each environment.

Manage acute and chronic medical conditions — hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, COPD, CKD, dementia, infections, and the full spectrum of adult internal medicine problems — using evidence-based practice. Perform inpatient admissions, daily progress evaluations, change-of-condition visits, and discharge or transition planning. Deliver chronic care management and longitudinal primary-style oversight for assisted-living residents, coordinating with facility staff, families, and specialists. Perform and manage bedside clinical tasks appropriate to the setting, including medication management, wound care, and IV therapy oversight. Document encounters accurately and efficiently in the EHR and ensure coding and billing appropriately capture the care delivered. Provide care transitions between hospital, SNF, and ALF settings to promote continuity and reduce avoidable readmissions.

Collaborate closely with attending physicians on complex cases, with real-time support available by phone, text, or in person throughout the day.

Experience in hospital medicine, post-acute / long-term care, or geriatrics strongly preferred; motivated new grads with strong clinical reasoning and a genuine interest in this patient population will beconsidered. Critical care, hospitalist, or emergency-medicine experience is a plus.
