Primary Care Physician
Stockton, CA | Full-Time | Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM Healthcare / Senior & Geriatric Care
We are seeking a Primary Care Physician to provide comprehensive, relationship-based care to older adults through a value-based PACE model.
Unlike a traditional high-volume primary care environment, physicians in this practice typically see an average of 8 patients per day, allowing more time to understand each patient's medical, functional, and social needs. You will work closely with an interdisciplinary care team to develop and coordinate individualized care plans for a vulnerable senior population.
Position Overview
The Primary Care Physician will provide comprehensive care to Medicare and Medi-Cal participants through a collaborative, interdisciplinary model.
The position includes clinic-based care and home visits but does not require hospital rounds. Physicians work regular weekday hours with limited rotating phone-based call responsibilities.
