About the Position:

Within a structured, multidisciplinary team, provide primary care that may include treatment related to:

• Routine Preventative Care

Here, physicians have access to the tools needed for successful delivery of care, including:

• Expansive Drug Formulary

But, most important are what CCHCS physicians don’t have:

• Insurance, Worker’s Comp, and Disability paperwork
• Unrealistic patient volume – most primary care physicians see fewer patients per day than their private sector/HMO colleagues and are able to take the time they need for appointments
