Street medicine entails using a medically equipped van to deliver medical care directly to people experiencing homelessness in locations such as parking lots, encampments, and parks.

Healthcare in Action is a medical group for patients experiencing homelessness. We need a physician who is willing to take home call on weekends from Saturday morning at 8 AM until Monday morning at 8 AM to oversee a physician assistant and a therapist who will be working in the field. You would need to be available by phone and/or video to support these field clinicians with questions and challenges that arise and to discuss new consults with them. You would need to be available by phone for the full 48 hour time period for each weekend shift you take. From 5 PM until 8 AM on Saturday and Sunday evenings you would also be on call for urgent patient calls from our answering service. You would NOT be expected to do any in-person care, i.e. this is an entirely “home call” opportunity. Healthcare in Action will provide malpractice coverage, including “tail coverage.”
