About us: 

Papa Docs is a physician-led medical practice dedicated to advancing care for older adults by addressing both medical needs and the social factors that influence health. Our team  provides virtual, compassionate, and evidence-informed care that integrates medical and social care delivery — meeting older adults where they are.

We serve Medicare beneficiaries through a physician-directed, community-based care navigation model. Physicians collaborate with trained Community Care Advocates who help older adults navigate local services, address gaps in social support, and improve overall well-being. This clinical model is designed to identify, assess, and manage both medical and social risks using scalable, tech-enabled workflows that are grounded in trust, dignity, and accessibility.

Papa Docs is supported by Papa Health, a wholly owned subsidiary of Papa, Inc., which provides non-clinical management and technology infrastructure. This alignment allows Papa Docs’ physicians to focus fully on patient care while ensuring that services are accessible, scalable, and grounded in community.

About the role: 

We are seeking a mission-driven, collaborative Physician Partner to join Papa Docs  by integrating health-related social needs (HRSNs) into care delivery. This is a high-impact opportunity to work at the intersection of clinical care and social support.

As a Physician Partner, you will provide synchronous and asynchronous telemedicine consultations for older adults, conduct virtual assessments, and generate care plans that address both medical and social needs. These care plans will be implemented and supported by Community Care Advocates. As one of the early physician partners, you'll have significant influence over how we deliver care and design our clinical workflows. If you've ever wanted to shape a clinical practice from the beginning rather than inherit someone else's playbook, this is that chance.

This is a part-time, remote, 1099 contractor position with flexible hours. 

What you’ll do: 

• Conduct virtual visits with older adults and review their medical history
• Identify health-related social needs (HRSNs) as part of the care planning process
• Create and update care plans that guide Community Care Advocates in providing community health support services to patients 
• Participate in asynchronous chart reviews and escalations, as needed
• Collaborate with Papa Docs’  partners, including operational teams  to inform workflows 
• As one of our early physicians, your insights will contribute to shaping our workflows, refining our care model, and solving operational challenges in real-time. Your input will directly influence how we grow.

Skills we look for: 

• Excellent communication and clinical reasoning skills
• Compassionate, patient-first mindset
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, tech-enabled environment (experience with telemedicine is a plus)
• Flexibility, reliability, and collaboration in cross-functional teams
• Reliable independent contributor open to collaborating with operations to improve clinical workflows 
• Startup mindset - highly adaptable, communicative across operational and clinical teams, and see gaps as opportunities.

What you bring: 

• Active, unrestricted MD or DO license in good standing 
• Board-certification in internal Medicine or Family Medicine 
• Active Florida state medical license, Florida Medicaid credential and Medicare enrollment required
• Licensure or credentialing in additional states is a plus 
• Minimum 2 years post-residency clinical experience
• Prior experience with telemedicine strongly preferred
• Flexibility to work a minimum of 8 hours/week for synchronous consultations on weekdays
• Fluency in Spanish is a bonus

Benefits:

• As an independent contractor, you will be responsible for your own taxes and benefits
