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.
