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.
