## Job description

## About Hopscotch Primary Care

At Hopscotch Primary Care, we believe great healthcare should be accessible to all people across all communities.  Today, almost 20% of Americans live in a rural community, yet only 11% of physicians practice in those same communities.  We are on a mission to transform healthcare in rural America.  We provide high-quality primary care tailored to meet the needs of our patients through our robust care model and comprehensive care team, delivering care in our clinics, and across settings, and wrapping resources around the patients who need them most.

Our patients and the care teams who serve them sit at the center of everything we do at Hopscotch.  Hopscotch Primary Care takes a team approach to serve patient needs and provide the best care possible.  Our goal is to provide the care each of us would want for ourselves or for our family members, in the right setting, and at the right time.

Today, we are serving thousands of patients in our value-based care model and the number is growing every day.  If you want to bring your experience, skill and passion to make a lasting impact in healthcare, we’d like to meet you.

Lead a care team that's rethinking primary care

At Hopscotch Primary Care, we deliver the kind of care we'd want for our own families — high-touch, coordinated, and unhurried. We serve seniors in Western North Carolina with a team-based model built around one goal: the right care, in the right setting, at the right time.

As Medical Director, you'll lead the clinical team at our Spruce Pine clinic, care for your own panel of patients, and set the standard for how the Hopscotch care model comes to life every day. This is a hands-on leadership role: part exceptional physician, part team builder, part culture champion.

## What you'll do

- Lead your clinical care team — Advanced Practitioners, Medical Assistants, Care Managers, and Community Health Workers — in delivering the Hopscotch care model
- Care for your own panel of senior patients in our comprehensive, interdisciplinary model, delivering best-in-class outcomes
- Coach your providers on panel management, documentation, and appropriate use of indirect care time — and hold the team accountable to a high standard
- Partner with your Care Center Manager to outperform on the metrics that matter: patient experience, STARS/HEDIS, care coordination, utilization, and cost of care
- Champion talent, culture, clinical innovation, and compliance across your center, acting as the standard-bearer for the Hopscotch care model
- Represent Hopscotch in the community through education, engagement, and events such as health fairs and conferences

## Who you are

You must have:

- Board certification in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine
- 3+ years of post-residency experience, including experience managing teams
- An active, non-probationary North Carolina medical license (or willingness to obtain) and authorization to work in the US

It's a plus if you have:

- Experience with the Medicare population and at-risk / high-acuity panels
- Familiarity with value-based or other innovative clinical care models
- A track record of using data and insights to drive clinical action
- Experience leading, teaching, and developing others, both formally and informally

The way you lead:

- High EQ. You build trust quickly with patients, providers, and partners — and you lean into the hard conversations rather than around them.
- Steady in ambiguity. You bring structure and a proactive, prioritized approach to a fast-paced, evolving environment.
- Humble and accountable. You lead by rolling up your sleeves, hold yourself and your team to a high bar, and set the tone for others to do the same.

## Why Hopscotch

We built this team so clinicians can focus on patients, not paperwork:

- Dedicated MA and Clinical Documentation Specialist — your charts come prepped, so you can focus on the patient
- Longer appointment times with preparation and charting time built in
- Smaller patient panels and an average of ~15 patients per day, for more customized care
- Interdisciplinary care teams on site to support each patient's full wellness needs
- AI dictation support to cut down documentation time
- Flexible schedule options
- Room to grow in a fast-scaling organization

## Compensation & benefits

- Competitive salary and bonus structure
- $25,000 sign on bonus
- NHSC-eligible clinics with loan repayment options
- Annual CME funding with dedicated days to use it
- Generous Time Away From Work program: paid holidays + PTO
- Company-sponsored medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family
- Free short-term and long-term disability insurance
- Free $100k life insurance policy
- 401(k) with 4% company match and no vesting period
- $720–$1,000 in annual employer HSA contributions for eligible health plans

Our culture

We live by our values: Patients first, team always · Make every moment count · Bring joy to the journey · Data, Insight, Action · Rise to the challenge. If you're mission-driven, growth-minded, and want to help build something better in primary care, we'd love to meet you. At Hopscotch Primary Care, we embrace diversity, invest in a culture of inclusion and positivity and encourage all to apply to join our team.  You will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
