Hybrid PCP/Virtual Care Weight Management Physician
Occupational Summary
Duke Primary Care (DPC) is seeking a physician to serve in a combined role both as a Primary Care Physician (PCP), and as a member of the Virtual Care Team's Virtual Weight Management Clinic (VWMC).
PCPs are clinicians responsible for addressing the personal health care needs of patients in the ambulatory setting. DPC PCPs will develop long-term, patient-centered relationships with the goal of achieving outstanding health outcomes and exceptional patient experience. Physicians will have training in internal medicine, family medicine, or internal medicine & pediatrics (IM-Peds) and will be expected to work in a multidisciplinary team-based environment. PCPs work at one of DPC's primary care locations around the Triangle region of central North Carolina.
Members of DPC's Virtual Care Team (VCT) are clinicians responsible for managing patient needs through video visits, and this role will primarily focus on Obesity Management. Physicians should have a strong understanding of Obesity Pathophysiology and comprehensive treatment approaches and have a current certification in Obesity Medicine by American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM). Physicians will provide comprehensive Obesity care (assessment, diagnosis, treatment through behavioral/lifestyle therapy/pharmacotherapy) for adult patients and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of Registered Dieticians, Health Coach and Behavioral Therapist to optimize comprehensive care.
The virtual portion of this role is primarily dedicated to Weight Management, with the flexibility to provide care for acute illnesses via video visits when weight management appointments are not fully utilized.
Required FTE for this position is 1.0, with the split between in-person clinical time (serving as PCP) and virtual clinical time (providing weight management in the VWMC) to be determined by applicant preference and organizational needs.
