WHAT YOU'LL DO:

The Float Medical Provider is an MD/DO or NP or PA in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine or Pediatrics and is responsible for providing high quality primary care to the patients of Elica Health Centers in the outpatient setting. Elica Health Centers is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) providing comprehensive primary and preventative health care services to a growing patient population. We are committed to providing excellent service to our patient population. Our rapidly expanding center offers services that include: internal and family medicine, pediatrics, dentistry, care management, and behavioral health. Elica Health Centers  is dedicated to serving low-income, multi-ethnic populations throughout the greater Sacramento area, with a special focus on immigrant communities. We are a diverse team, passionate about meeting the needs of our community through patient-centered, compassionate, comprehensive, integrated care.

This is a hybrid role that requires covering the in-person and/or remote clinic schedule and inbox for other medical providers who are on leave. When in-person coverage is needed, Float Medical Provider will be scheduled in-person at an Elica Health Center location in the Greater Sacramento area. When coverage is not needed, the Float Medical Provider has a remote telemedicine schedule for same-day visits.

This role offers great flexibility in terms of hours. Both 8- and 10-hour weekday schedules will be considered, as well as 8- to 40-hour week schedules. Schedules can be either the same every week or based on organizational need, depending on the Float Medical Provider s preference. There are no on-call responsibilities, panel of patients, supervision of other providers, or required weekend hours. In-person work will be required when covering for an in-person provider s leave; otherwise, work will be remote.
