Primary Care Physician

The San Diego VA Healthcare System is looking to add a Primary Care Physician to our team in our Kearny Mesa Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC).

The CBOC operates under a Patient Aligned Care Team Model.  Together with his or her team, comprised of a PCP, RN, LVN, and a Clerk, the PCP cares for a panel of approximately 1,200 patients. The PCP provides primary care services in a team-based setting, including chronic disease management and preventive health.  Common diagnoses encountered include diabetes, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, degenerative arthritis, depression, congestive heart failure, and chronic pain.

The physician evaluates, diagnoses, treats, and provides consultation for non-surgical adult patients of all ages, without life-threatening complications and with a wide variety of diseases, injuries, and disorders.  He or she assesses, stabilizes, and determines disposition of patients with emergent conditions consistent with medical staff policy regarding emergency and consultative call services.  The physician may collaborate with / oversee mid-level providers such as nurse practitioners and works collaboratively with other specialties (and subspecialties) in and outside the VA system to manage or co-manage patients’ health.  Select mental health and subspecialty services are available on-site.  Other mental health, medical and surgical subspecialties services are available through consult to the San Diego VA Health Care System or to the community.
