We are seeking a full-time PCP / Internist to join the team due to rapid nationwide opportunities to treat members with CKD and ESRD. Treatment and oversight will occur primarily through both telehealth nationally and locally in person.

This is an opportunity to practice medicine in a forward-looking, evidence- based environment with ample growth opportunity, alongside nephrologist committed to raising renal care outcomes nationwide.
