About this role
Job Description Summary Practice medicine in Chula Vista, one of Southern California's fastest-growing and most diverse communities.
If you became a family medicine physician to build real relationships and actually practice medicine — not to sprint through 25 patients before noon — this is what you've been waiting for. How will you make an impact & Requirements What your day actually looks like
• See 10–15 patients with appointments ranging from 20 to 60 minutes — time to actually listen, think, and treat. • Work alongside a dedicated Whole Health Coach embedded in your care center, addressing behavioral, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors in-house. • Onsite lab and pharmacy — no referral friction, no waiting on outside results to make a clinical decision. • Measured on outcomes and population health — not procedure volume or RVUs. • Provide prevention, chronic care, acute care, and disease management within a true medical home model. • Participate in clinical leadership: quality improvement, care model development, and peer community.
“Having the support to really focus on preventive care is one of the main reasons I love working at Vera. We’re the first place people go when they need care, so we have an amazing opportunity to make a big impact on their health.” — Jackie Riddick, MD, Lead Physician, Vera Whole Health
