Job Description

Physician (IM/FP)

$355,680 Time-Limited Board Certified

$337,872 Lifetime Board Certified

$320,124 Pre-Board Certified

About the Position:

Within a structured, multidisciplinary team, provide primary care that may include treatment related to:

• Routine Preventive Care
• Chronic disease management and education
• Public Health
• Addiction Medicine
• HIV/HCV Care

Here, physicians have access to the tools needed for successful delivery of care, including:

• Expansive Drug Formulary
• Comprehensive Care Guides
• Referrals to Specialty Care and Services
• Strong Nursing Teams
• Expansive Allied Health Services

But, most important are what CCHCS physicians don’t have:

• Insurance, Worker’s Comp, and Disability paperwork
• Unrealistic patient volume – most primary care physicians see fewer patients per day than their private sector/HMO colleagues and are able to take the time they need for appointments
• Missed time with friends and family – with a 40-hour workweek, CCHCS physicians are able to care for patients and themselves

Benefits:

In return for your skills, we offer all of the benefits that come with State of CA employment, including:

• Generous paid time off and holiday schedule
• State of CA retirement that vests in 5 years (visit for retirement formulas)
• Paid insurance, license, and DEA renewal

• Relocation assistance for those new to State of CA service
• Robust 401(k) and 457(b) Retirement Plans (tax defer up to $47,000 - $62,000 per year)
