About The Opportunity
Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is seeking a Part-Time Optometrist (OD) to provide care at one of our outpatient clinics in Sacramento, CA and Elk Grove, CA.
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.

- Clinic staff are on-site full time
- Organized scheduling and patient flow

- Prescribe corrective lenses and provide appropriate treatment recommendations
- Collaborate with clinic staff as part of an integrated care team

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
