Bilingual/Spanish Continuity Clinician - Medical Doctor

Virta Health is on a mission to transform type 2 diabetes and weight-loss care. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. Join us on our mission to reverse diabetes in 100 million people.

Virta is looking for dynamic and dedicated physicians to join our core clinical team. Our clinicians offer a real solution to patients with diabetes, pre-diabetes, and weight management, one that dramatically improves health and decreases the need for medications. Our clinical systems have been built from the ground up by our clinician team, allowing us to keep patient care front and center.

While our continuous remote care allows for flexibility, you are responsible for providing safe and timely care during office hours. We provide occurrence malpractice insurance.
