Telehealth Physician
About GrooveMost older adults with osteoporosis fall through the cracks of traditional medicine. They get a DEXA, a prescription, maybe a referral to PT for six visits...and then they're on their own. Groove exists to close that gap. We're a remote, PT-led care model giving older adults with chronic musculoskeletal conditions an ongoing relationship with a clinical team that knows them, meets them where they are, and helps them get stronger over time. We're early-stage, small, and building the kind of care most clinicians got into this field to provide.The RoleWe're hiring a California-licensed physician to join our care team part-time as a telehealth physician. You'll conduct intake visits, place safety guardrails, refer patients into our PT-led program, manage medications when appropriate, and provide ongoing physician oversight as patients progress.This isn't a traditional physician role. The PT is the expert in MSK programming and drives the long-term care plan. Your job is to bring medical judgment, education, and safety to the model. The right person derives professional satisfaction from the PT and patient's success — not from sitting at the top of the hierarchy.You'll work directly alongside our clinical leadership and founding team.Who You AreA collaborative generalist. Comfortable being the "filter," placing safety guardrails, providing education on diet, movement, and medications as appropriate. You derive satisfaction from the PT and the patient's success.Low-ego. You see the PT as the MSK expert and want to enable the workflow rather than recreate a traditional physician-led hierarchy.Empathetic . You realize the goal isn't just the next DEXA result. You're comfortable prioritizing lifestyle, function, and patient goals.Clinically grounded . You thrive in the rhythm of digital care delivery, can find flow state executing a workflow at volume, are disciplined with documentation and clinical time, and are a steward of current standards in bone health management — including fall prevention and functional aging.Curious about telehealth and digital health . You're excited about new tools and care models, not just tolerant.Background3+ years of clinical experience post-residency, with:Specialties : Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Geriatrics, or Endocrinology preferredSettings : Telehealth, primary care, geriatrics, or digital healthCredentials: MD or DO; an active California license is requiredBonus : Multi-state licensure or IMLC eligibility; experience with bone health, osteoporosis, or older adult chronic disease managementWhat This Role Is (and Isn't)This isn't a traditional clinic role. There's no front desk, no back-to-back 15-minute slots, no rounding. You'll see Groove patients via telehealth, work asynchronously with the PT team, and have autonomy in how you structure your time.It's also not a role for someone who wants to lead clinical care for chronic MSK conditions in a traditional way. Our care model puts the PT in the driver's seat for ongoing programming. If that's a problem for you, this isn't the right fit.Compensation & DetailsPart-time 1099 contract (10-20 hrs/week to start, scaling with patient volume)Competitive hourly rate commensurate with experienceFully remote (California license required; multi-state a strong bonus)Direct collaboration with the founding teamInterested?
