Full time Telehealth Physician, Lead

About Wider Circle Wider Circle is a mission-driven healthcare organization working to improve health outcomes for older adults and complex populations by addressing social and clinical barriers to care. Through trusted relationships and community-based support, we partner with health plans and local organizations to help members navigate healthcare, stay engaged in care, and live healthier lives. We are launching a permanent clinical program that integrates physicians, care navigators, and community support teams to create a coordinated, human approach to care — and we're looking for a physician leader to help build it. About the Role We are seeking a multi-state licensed physician to serve as our Telehealth Physician Lead, providing clinical oversight, quality assurance, and hands-on leadership for our growing telehealth care program. Reporting to the VP of Care Delivery, you will own clinical execution and iteration — conducting virtual visits, leading, training and overseeing a team of physicians, and continuously refining workflows to ensure high-quality, coordinated care. This is a hybrid clinical-leadership role: part practicing telehealth physician, part program builder. You'll see patients yourself, facilitate community-based appointments, and set the standard for how our clinical team operates. After initial visits, ongoing support is provided by a care team including Community Health Workers and Licensed Clinical Social Workers, allowing clinicians to focus on clinical guidance rather than longitudinal case management. This role is ideal for physicians interested in innovative care delivery, telehealth, community health, and population health models that extend beyond traditional office-based practice. What You'll Do Conduct initial telehealth visits with enrolled members, assessing medical needs, care gaps, and barriers to accessing care Build and develop a high-performing clinical team, providing mentorship and professional development to foster long-term growth and leadership within the organization Establish clear clinical plans and care priorities, and collaborate with the care team for smooth handoffs Clinical oversight and QA: Audit clinical documentation to ensure compliance with community health billing and program requirements, and that social-determinants sequencing is logical and actionable Physician training and management: Serve as the primary clinical point of contact for our physician team — onboard new clinicians, deliver feedback, lead re-training, and ensure alignment with company values Appointment and workflow management: Help structure scheduling, intake, SMA logistics, and clinical workflows to scale efficiently across markets Policy iteration: Identify broken processes in the field and rapidly iterate on clinical policies, intake forms, and care plan templates Metric stewardship: Track and report on key clinical KPIs including ER diversion rates, care gap closures, and SDoH resolution Partner with Area Managers and LCSWs to bridge medical providers and Community Health Workers, ensuring the team operates as a unified care engine Provide clinical insight to refine program workflows as we scale What You Bring MD or DO with active, unrestricted licensure in multiple states (Pennsylvania, California, Arizona, Texas, South Carolina, New Mexico, New Jersey, Tennessee required, additional state licenses strongly preferred ) Board certified in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, or related primary care specialty Experience managing or providing oversight to other clinicians (MD/DO/NP/PA), including delivering constructive feedback Deep understanding of community health, and Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) Experience with group visit models strongly preferred Demonstrated experience using data to improve clinical quality and auditing documentation for compliance Comfort working with Medicare, Medicaid, and complex populations Telehealth experience required "Fixer" DNA: comfortable identifying bottlenecks and bringing proposed solutions, not just problems Startup agility: excited to help write the manual as we scale, rather than waiting for a finished one Tech-fluent: navigates EHRs, Slack, and Google Suite easily and can train others Strong communication skills and ability to build trust quickly in a virtual setting As a venture-backed company, Wider Circle offers competitive compensation, including: Comprehensive health coverage, including medical, dental, and vision 401(k) Plan Paid Time Off Employee Assistance Program Health Care FSA Dependent Care FSA Health Savings Account Voluntary Disability Benefits Basic Life and AD&D Insurance Adoption Assistance Program Training and Development $175,000 - $225,000 Why This Role Is Different This isn't a traditional panel-based practice, and it isn't a pure administrative role either. You'll practice telehealth, oversee other physicians, and help shape a new model of community-based care for vulnerable populations — all while a dedicated support team carries out the ongoing engagement. If you're a physician who wants to improve care for vulnerable populations while building something new in a flexible, innovative care model, we'd love to connect.
