Family Practice - Without OB Physician

Family Practice Physician

As part of a multi-disciplinary team of healthcare providers under the leadership of the Chief Medical Officer, the Family Practice Physician works to achieve the organizational goals of Bay Area Community Health through the delivery of primary medical and educational care in a patient-centered environment. Following clinic protocols and policies, the physician provides care that includes, but is not limited to, examination, evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, patient education, follow-up consultation, and referrals for specialist services, labs, and tests as necessary. The physician maintains legible, accurate, and confidential medical records in compliance with state regulatory standards and clinic policies and procedures. The physician also provides oversight of clinical support staff (i.e., midlevel practitioners, medical assistants, and nursing staff) and handles operational issues on the clinical floor to ensure continuity of services and a smooth patient flow. The physician works in a collaborative effort across all departments and delivers care appropriate for an outpatient, primary care community health center with a multicultural, multilingual patient population.
