Primary Care Providers -MD, DO, NP needed at Norwalk AmeriCares Free Clinic

COME JOIN OUR TEAM OF EXCEPTIONAL PHYSICIANS!

https://afcvolunteers.americares.org/

Americares operates four free clinics in Fairfield County in Norwalk, Bridgeport, Danbury and Stamford. Our mission is to provide free quality health care to low-income, uninsured residents in a setting where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect. By partnering with local hospitals and Quest Diagnostics for donated laboratory and diagnostic testing, and by relying upon a hybrid paid/volunteer staff, we are able to provide free primary care to the working poor. Since 1994, we have provided more than $155 million in medical care to 28,000 patients.

• Providers receive excellent support from our caring and competent team of nurses, interpreters and patient care coordinators.
• Physicians should be Board-Certified in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine or Emergency Medicine and have a current Connecticut license. Nurse practitioners function as providers and must have at least 2 years experience treating adults.
• Volunteer providers are expected to work two 4-hour clinic sessions per month.
• Medical malpractice coverage is provided for all volunteers while on site.
• Providers who have been retired for more than 2 years must show evidence of some continuing work in a related field.
• Retired physicians who volunteer more than 100 hours in a calendar year are eligible to waive their license renewal fee.
