<p><strong>About Groove</strong></p><p>Most older adults with osteoporosis fall through the cracks of traditional medicine. They get a DEXA, a prescription, maybe a referral to PT for six visits...and then they're on their own. Groove exists to close that gap. We're a remote, PT-led care model giving older adults with chronic musculoskeletal conditions an ongoing relationship with a clinical team that knows them, meets them where they are, and helps them get stronger over time. We're early-stage, small, and building the kind of care most clinicians got into this field to provide.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>The Role</strong></p><p>We're hiring a California-licensed physician to join our care team part-time as a telehealth physician. You'll conduct intake visits, place safety guardrails, refer patients into our PT-led program, manage medications when appropriate, and provide ongoing physician oversight as patients progress.</p><p><br></p><p>This isn't a traditional physician role. The PT is the expert in MSK programming and drives the long-term care plan. Your job is to bring medical judgment, education, and safety to the model. The right person derives professional satisfaction from the PT and patient's success — not from sitting at the top of the hierarchy.</p><p><br></p><p>You'll work directly alongside our clinical leadership and founding team.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Who You Are</strong></p><ul><li><strong>A collaborative generalist.</strong> Comfortable being the "filter," placing safety guardrails, providing education on diet, movement, and medications as appropriate. You derive satisfaction from the PT and the patient's success.</li><li><strong>Low-ego.</strong> You see the PT as the MSK expert and want to enable the workflow rather than recreate a traditional physician-led hierarchy.</li><li><strong>Empathetic</strong>. You realize the goal isn't just the next DEXA result. You're comfortable prioritizing lifestyle, function, and patient goals.</li><li><strong>Clinically grounded</strong>. You thrive in the rhythm of digital care delivery, can find flow state executing a workflow at volume, are disciplined with documentation and clinical time, and are a steward of current standards in bone health management — including fall prevention and functional aging.</li><li><strong>Curious about telehealth and digital health</strong>. You're excited about new tools and care models, not just tolerant.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Background</strong></p><p>5+ years of clinical experience post-residency, with:</p><ul><li><strong>Specialties</strong>: Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Geriatrics, or Endocrinology preferred</li><li><strong>Settings</strong>: Telehealth, primary care, geriatrics, or digital health</li><li><strong>Credentials:</strong> MD or DO; an active California license is required</li><li><strong>Bonus</strong>: Multi-state licensure or IMLC eligibility; experience with bone health, osteoporosis, or older adult chronic disease management</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>What This Role Is (and Isn't)</strong></p><p>This isn't a traditional clinic role. There's no front desk, no back-to-back 15-minute slots, no rounding. You'll see Groove patients via telehealth, work asynchronously with the PT team, and have autonomy in how you structure your time.</p><p><br></p><p>It's also not a role for someone who wants to lead clinical care for chronic MSK conditions in a traditional way. Our care model puts the PT in the driver's seat for ongoing programming. If that's a problem for you, this isn't the right fit.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Compensation & Details</strong></p><ul><li>Part-time 1099 contract (10-20 hrs/week to start, scaling with patient volume)</li><li>Competitive hourly rate commensurate with experience</li><li>Fully remote (California license required; multi-state a strong bonus)</li><li>Direct collaboration with the founding team</li></ul>
