Virtual Physician (Emergency Medicine)
Role Description
This is not high-volume, protocol-driven telehealth. Physicians practice as part of a broader care model that includes asynchronous and synchronous virtual care, coordination of labs and imaging, specialist e-consults, and referrals to in-person care when appropriate. Clinicians remain involved in guiding patients through decisions and next steps, rather than handing care off after a single interaction.
The role is designed to fit naturally alongside an existing hospital, ED, or outpatient practice, offering flexible, meaningful clinical work supported by exceptional tools and a white-glove operational backbone.
What the Work Looks Like
Provide asynchronous text-based chat care for adult patients across the U.S.
Triage and practice broad general medicine across a wide range of acuity and clinical complexity
Order and interpret labs and imaging, and coordinate specialist e-consults
Recommend and guide patients to appropriate in-person care when needed (operations teams handle provider identification, booking, and scheduling)
Help patients identify and coordinate the next clinically relevant steps — not just address the presenting complaint
Maintain clinical ownership and continuity throughout the decision-making process
Contribute feedback to improve clinical workflows and support tools over time
Clinical Environment & Support
Physicians work within a modern virtual care system supported by:
Exceptional clinical support and technology that provide full patient context and reduce administrative burden
Asynchronous chat-based visits
Rapid access to specialist input
Expedited labs, imaging, and referrals within patients' insurance networks
Clear price visibility for insurance and cash options to support shared decision-making
A dedicated operations team that handles coordination and non-clinical work
All medical decisions are made by licensed clinicians. Technology exists to support clarity, alignment, and continuity — not to replace clinical judgment.
