Mentorship & Support

• Serve as a clinical resource for medical assistants, care coordinators, and support staff within the practice to improve team-based performance.

• Partner with the MSO’s Clinical Operations team to improve provider alignment with quality and risk adjustment expectations.

Operational Support & Clinical Transformation

• Act as a clinical liaison between the MSO and assigned practices, assisting with VBC transformation projects and operational improvements.

• Support practice workflow changes related to EHR optimization, clinical documentation workflows, and team-based huddles.

• Participate in quality committee meetings, VBC workshops, and performance improvement initiatives.

• Submit clinical reports, training feedback, and performance dashboards as required by MSO leadership and CMS guidelines.

• Experience training or mentoring mid-level providers is a plus.

Skills and Competencies

• Strong interpersonal, coaching, and communication skills.

• Self-starter who can function both independently and as part of a care team.

• Ability to organize, prioritize, and deliver outcomes in a fast-paced environment.

• Culturally competent, especially when working with multilingual or senior patient populations.

Working Conditions & Travel:

• Travel to multiple assigned IPA practice locations within the geographic region required.

• Occasional evening or weekend availability may be requested for outreach or quality improvement efforts.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive salary with incentive bonuses tied to clinical quality and documentation performance.

• Full medical, dental, vision, and retirement benefits.
