Searching for Physician Primary Care Jobs
Primary care physicians are the first place many patients turn when they have any health concerns. They’re often the first stop when a patient is in pain or having unexplained symptoms. Primary care physicians can assess symptoms to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions. For many people, especially relatively healthy people who aren’t receiving specialty care of any kind, a primary care physician will be their only doctor.
Primary care doctors are especially important in rural or underserved communities, where access to hospitals, urgent care centers, and specialists might be limited. Primary care physicians can help patients in these areas. They might work in practices that have labs, diagnostic imaging, and other specialized equipment onsight that can help them offer more care than a typical doctor’s office.
Beyond health practices and private offices, you can find primary care roles in hospitals, outpatient care centers, rehabilitation facilities, mental health inpatient care centers, and more. You can check out some of those roles right here by browsing our job postings. We have roles in multiple facilities throughout California. You can fill out an application if you see a role you’re interested in, or to get matched with opportunities that come up in the future.
