Job Description :
Overview
Are you passionate about revolutionizing healthcare for the elderly and medically complex population? If you are, CareConnectMD would like to meet you!
Since 1996, CareConnectMD (formerly Gerinet Medical Associates) has been providing personalized and compassionate medical care for our frail and medically complex patients in skilled nursing and long-term care facilities. Our 22 years of managing care for high-risk populations has helped us design an integrated care model that effectively coordinates care as our patients transition from inpatient to post-acute settings, including going home. Our unique value-based care model improves clinical outcomes and patient/family satisfaction, while reducing overall system costs. We are experts in symptom management, supportive care, advanced care planning, telemedicine, medical crisis prevention, and patient-family communication.
Our Culture:
Many employers say they offer work-life balance, but few are able to deliver on that promise. CareConnectMD providers do not practice on a shift-basis, so they have more flexible schedules that work around raising their families and other important priorities. With us, there are no surprise 12-hour work shifts or increasing unpaid time for after-hour clinic work duties. Retention is important to us, so we want to make sure our providers enjoy great qualities of life. CareConnectMD provides after-hours call coverage support, so you can enjoy your time away from work without being interrupted by calls.
