Medical Director

Medical Director Opportunity

Position Summary:
Liberty Resources, Inc. is seeking a Board-Certified Physician for our newly designated Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) located at 1045 James St. Syracuse NY. We are seeking a dynamic Medical Director to share in our Vision for delivering high quality healthcare in our integrated primary care and behavioral healthcare practice. The Medical Director will play a pivotal role in providing primary care while also overseeing administrative functions to ensure the smooth operation of the practice. Working collaboratively with our Medical Director for Behavioral Health and other clinic leadership, this position offers a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on both patient care and organizational development in an integrated care environment. As Medical Director, you will have a significant role in shaping the Vision and delivery of our Integrated Healthcare clinic services as part of the leadership team.
Liberty is also designated as a Certified Community Behavioral Health organization, one of only 62 dually certified CCBHC and FQHC's in the Nation. This distinction affords the Medical Director a unique opportunity to help transform care delivery in a highly supportive and integrated system of care. These designations also allow for a richly reimbursed delivery system. This allows practitioners to focus on pt. care instead of service volumes. While the Medical Director is responsible for direct pt. care, as our practice grows, administrative duties will increase, and direct pt. care will decrease over time and be provided by other providers. We have both a strategic Vision and Plan for growth. We also pride ourselves on having a culture of being Family supportive where work-life balance is important for our employees.
The position is based in our Clinics at 1045 James St. Syracuse, M-F with no evening or weekends.
