Physician (Per Diem)

Blueberry's Mission:

Our mission is to turn every family's living room into a pediatric urgent care by combining at-home diagnostic kits with concierge-like access to pediatricians. With Blueberry, every family has affordable and immediate 24/7 access to the same (or better!) care they’d receive at an urgent care or ER. We believe every child deserves access to top-quality healthcare.

Blueberry Pediatrics is growing fast. We've proven that we can drive better health outcomes for children and families, and dramatically reduce medical costs for parents and companies. 

Delivering affordable, high-quality healthcare requires engineering ingenuity, leadership committed to prioritizing patient outcomes over short-term profits, and an exceptional product team.

We are a mission and values driven company. You can learn more about our values HERE. 🫐 💙

BEFORE READING THROUGH THE JOB DESCRIPTION, PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY HIRING ADDITIONAL PHYSICIANS. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING BLUEBERRY PEDIATRICS, PLEASE PROCEED WITH SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION AND WE WILL FOLLOW UP WITH YOU WHEN WE BEGIN HIRING AGAIN (IF YOUR BACKGROUND AND LICENSES MATCH OUR NEEDS AT THAT TIME). WE ANTICIPATE RE-EVALUATING OUR STAFFING NEEDS A COUPLE MONTHS BEFORE NEXT COLD/FLU SEASON! THANK YOU!!

The Opportunity:

Blueberry is on a mission to make high quality pediatric care available to everyone. In this role, you will join a wonderful community of physicians who are fueled by that mission. Beyond that, you’ll have the opportunity to do what you do best REMOTELY!. Our physicians love being a part of Blueberry for three key reasons:

1. They get to practice high-quality, evidence based medicine.
2. Their voices matter and our Chief Medical Officer is a pediatrician who represents the voices of the doctors at the executive level.
3. They may be home alone, but they never feel alone. We are a community of doctors who help each other out!
   

Who You Are:

• You are responsible and self-motivated. We do not micromanage. 
• You uphold Blueberry’s values. You are committed to making sure that every parent has a great experience.
• You are empathetic. You do a great job of making parents feel heard and understood.
• You are a person of integrity. We do not prescribe just to satisfy parents. We practice evidence based medicine. We expect all Blueberry doctors to uphold that bar.
• You are a collaborative partner to our other doctors and our customer support team, with whom you will work to ensure holistic patient care.

Role Details/Requirements:

• This is a 1099 contract role.
• You are expected to fulfill a minimum 10-12 hours of on-call time per week*, primarily during high volume hours (4p - 1a EST) and on weekends. Shifts are 3 hours long.
• In addition to shift hours, we ask that you pick up overflow visits when not on call (you will be compensated $25 per overflow visit you take while not on call). This is a great way to make quick money!
• It is expected that you accomplish at least 4 or more visits per hour. You will be compensated at a higher hourly rate if you are able to do more than that (ask us for more info).
• You are an experienced multitasker and are well versed in managing an EMR.
• You have no conflict of interest with your current job at a competing pediatric telehealth company.

Okay so….Why Work At Blueberry?

Need more convincing? Trust us, we know what the clinical world is like. That’s why we want to make sure that our doctors experience benefits that most clinics would never offer. Such as:

• Contribute to a mission-driven health-tech company that is out to improve the child healthcare experience!
• Amazing camaraderie amongst the team as we function as a medical group.
• Malpractice insurance provided.
• Stipend for remote office equipment.
• Quarterly bonuses based on hours worked, quality of care, and feedback.

*Blueberry may not be able to guarantee the minimum 10-12 hours per week every month (example, lower volume months)

Expected wage for this role: $85-100++/hr (calculated by on-call hours + visits completed - ask for more info and we'd be happy to share how compensation is broken out!)
