Job Description

  • Part-Time Optometrist
  • Location: Chattanooga, Tennessee

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

Value-based Model Focused on Seniors

  • We manage equipment, supplies, scheduling, and billing logistics — allowing you to focus entirely on delivering high-quality vision care.
  • What You’ll Do
  • Perform comprehensive eye exams and vision assessments
  • 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
  • This is not a high-volume retail model.

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
  • Active Tennessee optometry license
  • Experience treating senior populations preferred
  • Strong clinical judgment and patient communication skills
  • Comfortable practicing in outpatient clinic environments

Schedule: 1–2 days/month (weekdays)

  • Typical hours: 8::30 AM – 4:30 PM
  • No weekends
