About The Opportunity

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is seeking a Part-Time Optometrist (OD) to provide care within a structured, outpatient clinic-based environment across multiple partner locations throughout New Mexico.

This is a clinic-based role where you'll function as an extension of the clinical team within coordinated, community-focused settings serving senior populations.

  • Los Alamos
  • Grants
  • Gallup
  • Socorro
  • Truth or Consequences
  • Bayard / Silver City
  • Alamogordo

Las Cruces
