Physician (Pennsylvania Licensure)

Position Overview

Seniority Healthcare is seeking a part-time Primary Care and Supervisory Physician to provide direct patient care and clinical supervision across the organization’s primary care and COMPASS service lines.

This is a clinical position with two primary responsibilities:

1. Providing longitudinal primary care to a defined panel of medically complex older adults

2. Supervising and supporting nurse practitioners and physician assistants throughout Seniority Healthcare

The physician will care for patients in senior living communities and home-based settings through a virtual-first model. Visits are primarily conducted through audiovisual telemedicine, with audio-only visits used when clinically appropriate and permitted.

In addition to managing an individual patient panel, the physician will complete required supervisory visits, provide clinical guidance to advanced practice providers, and support complex medical decision-making across the practice.

This position is well suited for a physician who values long-term patient relationships, enjoys caring for geriatric and medically complex populations, and is comfortable serving as both a primary care provider and physician leader within a collaborative care model.
