Additional Information:

The Alex Mobile Health Program has three dynamic walk-in based mobile clinics providing care for youth at schools or vulnerable community members in a non-judgmental, harm-reduction focused, holistic, and opportunistic manner. The Family Care Physician will work alongside a strong multidisciplinary team of physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Licensed Practitcal Nurses, Peer Support Workers, social staff and support staff. Physicians are required to understand the social determinants of health as they pertain to marginalized and underserved populations, in addition to providing a full-scope medical care with a trauma-informed and harm reduction perspective.
Reimbursement is via alternative-relationship plan (ARP) with visits taking typically 30-60 minutes long with physicians expected to participate in team-based, multidisciplinary care.
