DescriptionVenice Family Clinic is a leader in providing comprehensive, high-quality primary health care to people in need with compassion, dignity, and respect. In November 2021, Venice Family Clinic merged with South Bay Family Health Care, uniting more than a century of experience helping patients regardless of their income, insurance, or immigration status. The organization now has more than 500 staff who serve 45,000 people from the Santa Monica Mountains through the South Bay. We have 17 locations plus 2 mobile clinics and an expansive street medicine program for people experiencing homelessness.
Our physicians are committed to the populations we serve and to the mission of the clinic. Under the leadership of the Associate Medical Director, the Venice Family Clinic physician evaluates, treats, and makes appropriate diagnostic and specialty referrals for our patients. The physician is an integral part of the clinic staff, providing leadership and expertise on medical and patient care issues. Because the Venice Family Clinic has a large volunteer program, the staff physician has a unique role in orienting and providing technical support to the volunteer medical providers. This responsibility includes providing a positive role model, ensuring that volunteers understand Venice Family Clinic procedures and providing continuity of care for patients. The physician works cooperatively with all clinic departments including nursing, pharmacy, clinic coordinators, and mental health staff. The position requires flexibility in days and hours for clinical care, as some evenings or Saturdays may be included in the weekly schedule.
Target Salary Range for this role is $240,000-$280,000 annually.
