What is my mission?

Evaluate and manage patients with overweight and obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and prediabetes over video visits using evidence-based medicine and document visits to share with a multidisciplinary team.

What will I do?

• Evaluate and manage patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, prediabetes, overweight, and obesity using evidence-based and patient-centered medicine.
• Complete at least 32-hours synchronous video visits with Miga patients per week.
• Prepare for visits by reading chart notes from the rest of a patient’s multidisciplinary team (including a registered dietitian and health coach) so that other team members’ recommendations can be reinforced during visits.
• Clearly and concisely document video visits within 24 hours in a charting template so that the rest of the multidisciplinary team understands the content of the visits.
• Order and interpret labs and other diagnostic tests, prescribe medications, and interpret home monitoring data (e.g., weight, blood pressure).
• Maintain high scores ( >4/5) on process, quality, and patient satisfaction metrics.
• Communicate with patients asynchronously using our provider app.
• Refer patients internally to registered dietitians and health coaches.
• Coordinate and communicate care plans with external medical providers, including primary care providers and specialists.
• Participate in weekly clinical meetings, educational sessions, and broader team meetings.
• Use and adapt to multiple technological platforms.
