Physician (Part-Time, 1099), Blueberry Balance

Blueberry's Mission

Our mission is to turn every family’s living room into their own personal pediatric urgent care. We combine home exam kits, concierge-like access, and AI-enabled Pediatricians to provide affordable and near-instant clinic-level care, 24/7. We believe every child deserves access to top-quality healthcare.

We’ve proven that by drastically improving access and turning healthcare into a consumer-grade experience, we drive better health outcomes for children and families while dramatically reducing medical costs for parents and health plans (up to 50% reduction in ED costs).

We are a mission and values driven company.

If you received an email requesting this information it is likely a scam. We are only accepting candidates through our job board.

The Opportunity

The Practicing Physician is a frontline clinician on the Balance care team. You will carry your own panel of Balance families - running intake, reviewing labs, designing care plans with families, prescribing GLP-1 therapy where appropriate, and managing that care over time - all within the protocols and multidisciplinary model the program is built on.

This is a part-time (1099), flexible engagement designed to grow with the program: it starts at a modest monthly commitment and scales up as the panel does. It's a strong fit for a physician who wants meaningful clinical work in adolescent metabolic health without a leadership mandate, and who is interested in building obesity-medicine expertise on the job. You don't need to have run a program or hold an obesity-medicine certification to do this role well - you need sound clinical judgment, genuine interest in this population, and the willingness to work inside a coordinated, distributed care team.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN: Patient intake and evaluation

• Complete comprehensive patient intake for adolescents entering the program, including history, risk factors, and eligibility review
• Order appropriate labs and review results, escalating findings that fall outside program guardrails

Care planning and treatment

• Meet with patients and their families to design an appropriate, individualized care plan grounded in each teen's goals and clinical picture
• Prescribe and manage GLP-1 therapy where clinically appropriate, always within a holistic plan that includes nutrition and behavioral support - and know when medication is not the right answer
• Manage ongoing care for patients and families over time: monitoring visits, dose management, side-effect and safety management, and adherence support

Care-team coordination

• Coordinate with other care team members - physicians, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, and health coaches - so each family experiences one cohesive care plan rather than a set of disconnected touchpoints
• Follow the program's clinical protocols and escalation pathways, and surface complex or ambiguous cases to the Physician Lead

Experience You'll Need

• MD or DO with active, unrestricted medical license in good standing
• Comfort and credibility caring for adolescents and their families
• Interest in adolescent and obesity medicine, and a willingness to complete light onboarding training in weight/obesity management and GLP-1 therapy
• Availability of 20-80 hours per month, starting on the lower end and scaling up as the program grows
• Strong written communication; comfort operating in an asynchronous, distributed telehealth care team

Preferred Experience

• Board certification in Obesity Medicine (ABOM/DABOM), or a clear path to gaining certification
• Prior experience prescribing or managing GLP-1 therapy
• Experience delivering care via telehealth, and fluency with the workflow differences it demands
• Experience working alongside registered dietitians, behavioral health clinicians, and health coaches in a multidisciplinary model
• Bilingual (Spanish/English) or experience serving linguistically diverse pediatric populations

Time Commitment and Growth Trajectory

This is a part-time role, starting at 20-80 hours per month and scaling with the program's patient panel.
