About The Opportunity
Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is seeking a Part-Time Optometrist (OD) to provide care in a structured, outpatient clinic-based environment in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
This is a clinic-based role where you’ll function as an extension of the clinical team within a coordinated, community-focused setting serving senior populations.
If you’re looking for meaningful, mission-driven work with schedule consistency — without the overhead and administrative burden of running your own practice — this opportunity offers flexibility and professional support.
The Setting
- This opportunity operates within a community-based outpatient clinic model.
- Clinic staff are on-site full time
- Organized scheduling and patient flow
- Coordinated, team-based care environment

- Diagnose and manage common ocular conditions within your scope of practice
- Prescribe corrective lenses and provide appropriate treatment recommendations
- Collaborate with clinic staff as part of an integrated care team
- Deliver patient-centered care in a structured outpatient setting
- What Makes This Different

Our optometrists are integrated into established clinic environments and represent Comprehensive Mobile Care directly within each partner location.
We Emphasize
- Quality over volume
- Consistency and predictability
- Administrative and logistical support
- Long-term clinic partnerships
- Ethical, mission-driven healthcare delivery
Qualifications
- Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree from an accredited program
