About the role

Original posting from General Medicine via Ashby

At General Medicine, you'll join a clinical community raising the standard for virtual primary care, making high quality medicine accessible to everyone through telemedicine and intelligent technology. We're looking for experienced physicians who thrive in fast paced environments and lead with empathy and clinical rigor.

Founded by the team behind PillPack (acquired by Amazon Health), General Medicine is a national, tech enabled medical group on a mission to make accessing care as seamless as the best consumer experiences. We're an early stage company that moves fast, builds with intention, and needs clinicians who want to practice meaningful medicine inside a system designed to support them.

As a part time virtual physician, you'll practice as part of a broader care model spanning asynchronous and synchronous virtual care, lab and imaging coordination, specialist e-consults, and referrals to in person care when appropriate. This isn't high volume, protocol driven telehealth. You'll stay clinically involved from decision to next step rather than handing off after a single interaction. The role is built to fit alongside your existing hospital, ED, or outpatient practice, at roughly 10 to 12 hours a week.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

  • Patient Centered Access: We meet patients where they are, guided by evidence based medicine.
  • Whole Spectrum Adult Care: Urgent, acute, and primary care backed by an internal subspecialist network. No gatekeeping.
  • Technology with Purpose: AI enhanced tools handle intake, documentation, and coordination so clinicians can focus on clinical decisions.
  • Accessible, Not Concierge: We accept insurance (including Medicare/Medicaid) and self pay, with a full operational backbone for referrals, labs, and scheduling.

REQUIREMENTS

  • MD or DO, board certified in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine.
  • Multistate Licensure: Active, unrestricted NP licensure with coverage representing at least 30% of the U.S. population. (Licensure in high-priority states including California, Texas, Florida, and New York—is strongly preferred.)
  • Must be authorized to work and physically located within the United States; this role is not available to candidates working from outside the U.S.
  • Independent clinical judgment: Comfortable with diagnostic ambiguity, and broad clinical synthesis; able to practice within scope while collaborating with physicians and specialists.
  • Adaptable & tech-savvy: Quick to learn new clinical tools, workflows, and virtual-first care settings (telehealth experience a plus)

COMPENSATION

Pay-per-completed visit model, with potential to grow within the role:

  • Chat visit: $12
  • Video visit: $50

WHO THRIVES HERE

  • You have experience overseeing clinical groups, workflows, or policies, and want flexible, meaningful work alongside an existing clinical career.
  • You're bought into our mission - you believe telemedicine, done right, transforms patient care.
  • You enjoy practicing medicine across varying degrees of acuity and complexity.
  • You value continuity, follow-through, and patient partnership over transactional encounters.
  • You're collaborative, low-ego, and comfortable with adaptive workflows and rapid iteration.
  • You appreciate tools that provide full context and reduce administrative overhead.
