Job Description

Company Overview

Over the past 40 years, Chaparral Medical Group (CMG) has established itself as a leading primary and multi-specialty care provider for California's Inland Empire. In 2022, CMG joined forces with Akido Labs, a tech-enabled healthcare company, to transform the healthcare experience from the ground up. This partnership joins CMG's medical services with Akido's innovative technology to relieve the frustrations felt by everyone involved in care delivery, from medical providers and their staff, to the patients and their families. Ultimately, this means our providers spend more time caring for patients and less time bogged down with administrative work.

As part of the Akido medical network, we are currently responsible for more than 250,000 patients in Southern California, with plans to expand into new markets across the U.S. We care deeply about the communities we serve and are committed to providing accessible, high quality healthcare that helps our patients and communities live their fullest lives. We're building a dynamic, diverse and driven team as we continue to grow and broaden our impact. We are seeking passionate people who care deeply about helping patients and communities. We hope you'll join our team
