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 Wilmington, NC.
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.

- 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
