Applicants should have an active California medical license, US work eligibility, and experience with electronic health records. The application also benefits from clear evidence of substance use treatment experience, telehealth practice, and communication with underserved populations.

The physician evaluates patients at different stages of substance use treatment and develops an assessment and care plan for each person. Intakes establish the clinical picture, while follow-up visits track response, medication needs, and changes in risk. The role includes treatment for people dealing with drug or alcohol use, with care shaped around the patient rather than a single standard pathway.

Medication management requires clinical review, accurate documentation, and follow-up between scheduled visits. The physician communicates with patients when urgent needs arise and decides when a concern requires additional clinical attention. Recover Medical Group uses a harm-reduction approach and serves marginalized, underserved, and low-income communities across California.

The physician reports to Daniel Duel, Medical Director, and collaborates with therapists, case managers, and nurse practitioners. Complicated cases receive physician review when a nurse practitioner needs additional clinical support. The work therefore combines direct patient care with case consultation and communication across disciplines.

Core work includes the following:

• Conducting new-patient intakes and follow-up visits
• Completing individualized assessments and treatment plans
• Managing medications for patients in substance use treatment
• Assisting nurse practitioners with complicated cases
• Communicating with patients about urgent needs between appointments
• Completing clinical documentation and maintaining program quality
• Collaborating with therapists, case managers, and the medical director
• Supporting regulatory compliance within the treatment program

The role requires a physician who can make decisions independently while keeping the wider care team informed. Familiarity with EHR systems and clinical documentation standards supports the handoffs, follow-up records, and quality checks required in remote care.

California telehealth practice requires an active California medical license when the patient is located in California. State rules also govern consent, prescribing, documentation, and the conditions for care across state lines. The telehealth legal requirements include state-specific rules that can change over time, so the physician must keep current with medical board guidance and applicable law.

Remote clinical judgment still requires enough information for a safe recommendation. The physician confirms whether telehealth is appropriate, evaluates the limits of the available information, and arranges additional examination or follow-up when remote care cannot answer the clinical question. An active license does not replace the need for careful patient identification,…
