Primary Care Physician

Job Description

Location : Contra Costa County, CA

PACE Program

Compensation : starting at $200,000

Reports to : Chief Medical Officer

The Role

This Primary Care Physician will serve as a clinical leader and direct care provider within this PACE program. You’ll manage the ongoing care of older adults through an interdisciplinary team model — balancing autonomy, team collaboration, and participant-centered care.

You’re not just treating patients — you’re leading the IDT (Interdisciplinary Team), influencing outcomes, and helping seniors maintain independence in their communities. This is the perfect fit for a physician who’s passionate about geriatrics, integrated care, and working in a model that allows more time and connection with each patient.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive initial, semi-annual, and annual assessments for PACE participants.
• Lead and collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to develop and maintain individualized care plans.
• Provide primary and ongoing medical care to assigned participants — both in-clinic and in nursing home settings as needed.
• Supervise and collaborate with Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants.
• Manage hospital and emergency coordination, including discharge planning and follow-up.
• Provide telephonic after-hours coverage on a rotating schedule.
• Participate in quality improvement (QAPI) initiatives and clinical meetings.
• Support their mission to promote autonomy, dignity, and quality of life for frail and elderly adults.

Ideal Background

Culture & Model

This PACE program is one of California’s most respected PACE programs — offering a capitation-based model of care focused on outcomes and quality, not volume. Physicians here get to build long-term relationships with their participants, work alongside other seasoned geriatric professionals, and have a real impact on quality of life.
