Cruces, Roswell) 

Schedule: 2–6 weekdays per month (Wed/Thu/Fri) 

Compensation: $1,200 per diem

Position Type: Independent Contractor (1099)

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is seeking a Part-Time Optometrist (OD) to
deliver high-quality vision care across multiple New Mexico communities. This is
a clinic-based role where you’ll function as an extension of established
outpatient teams serving senior populations.

If you’re looking for meaningful, mission-driven work with schedule consistency
— without the overhead of running your own practice — this opportunity offers
flexibility, autonomy, and full administrative support.

TRAVEL EXPECTATIONS

This is a traveling optometrist role. Candidates must be comfortable driving up
to 4 hours to assigned clinic locations, which may include some or all of the
following regions:

* Albuquerque

THE SETTING

This opportunity operates within a community-based outpatient clinic model

* Full-time clinic staff on-site

* Prescribe corrective lenses and provide treatment recommendations

* Collaborate with clinic staff as part of an integrated care team

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Our optometrists are integrated into established clinic environments and
represent CMC 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
