What you'll do
This is a clinical role focused on direct patient care via messaging-based, AI-paired visits. You will spend the majority of your time seeing patients across acute, primary, and longevity care in an asynchronous messaging modality.
- See patients over messages: diagnose, treat, triage, and follow up.
- Practice with Counsel’s AI assistant that prepares history, sharpens differentials, and drafts messages while you provide clinical judgment.
- Hold a high bar on clinical reasoning, safety, and patient communication.
- Stay generalist: manage urgent care today, primary care tomorrow, and novel cases next week.
- Collaborate with leadership on guidelines, peer review, and clinical systems to keep care safe as the team scales.
- Mentor newer clinicians and contribute to raising clinical standards.
- Provide feedback to shape the clinical tools and workflows you use.
What you bring
- Board certification in Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, or Family Medicine and an active medical license (10+ licenses preferred; exceptional candidates with fewer will be considered).
- 3+ years of post-residency clinical experience (urgent care, ER, primary care, or a strong generalist mix).
- Genuine interest in acute, primary, and longevity care.
- Comfort working in a fully virtual, asynchronous, messaging-based modality.
- Strong written communication, as most patient care happens in writing.
Bonus points for
- Multi-state licensure already in hand or a track record of standing up new licenses quickly.
- Prior telehealth, virtual-first, or direct-to-consumer healthcare experience.
- Experience incorporating longevity into clinical practice.
- A clear point of view and experience using AI tools in clinical practice.
- Background in fast-paced acute environments (ER, urgent care) with strong triage instincts.
Who you are
- A role-model clinician who leaves patients feeling heard and clear on next steps.
- Bullish on AI in medicine but clear-eyed about its limits.
- A generalist by temperament who enjoys solving novel problems.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and quick to take ownership.
- Optimistic about tackling hard problems in healthcare and AI.
What We Offer
- Rate & Flexibility: $140-$155/h, fully remote, flexible schedule.
- Impact: Opportunity to be at the vanguard of AI-augmented care delivery.
- Growth: Professional development and growth at a rapidly scaling, venture-backed company.
- Culture: Collaborative and innovative environment where ideas are valued.
Our Values
- Patients come first. Clinicians first, technologists second; patient trust and safety are central.
- Innovate with optimism. Challenge the status quo and build from first principles.
- Right answer wins. Debate openly and choose the strongest path for the company.
- Simplicity over complexity. Favor clear, elegant solutions that serve patients and the team.
- Do fewer things, well. Focus and pursue excellence in key areas.
