Job Description

Southern California Permanente Medical Group (SCPMG) is a physician-led partnership with strong values that support a patient-centered and evidence-based approach to medicine.

Provides our physicians with the resources and support systems needed to ensure every physician can focus on practicing medicine, connecting with one another, and providing the best possible care to their patients.

  • Board Certified or Board Eligible

About the Area

Situated in the San Fernando Valley among the world's major movie studios, Panorama City provides a central location for working families to enjoy a suburban lifestyle while still feeling close to the modern metropolitan conveniences of LA. Major freeways, Hollywood Burbank Airport, and public transportation make this location accessible and easily commutable.

Working Here

At Panorama City there is a deep focus on continuous variety, learning, and new challenges.

To keep things fresh and enhance outcomes, our leadership takes an active role in connecting physicians with their interests, whether in specialties, initiatives at the medical center, community involvement, or in growth and leadership opportunities.

A culture of kindness has created a warmth among “Pan City” physicians; there is a distinct joy and gratification in coming to work. This collegiality is a constant: due to our smaller size, physicians are able to meet each Friday, discussing new ideas and how to improve services.

New hires are quickly integrated and supported, both professionally and personally. Taken together, Pan City’s attributes have enabled a cohesive, high-functioning team that expertly serves a diverse—and very appreciative—patient population.

Equal Employment Opportunity

External hires must pass a background check/drug screen. Qualified applicants with arrest and/or conviction records will be considered for employment in a manner consistent with Federal, state and local laws, including but not limited to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.

Key Responsibilities

Provide high-quality medical care to patients using an evidence-based approach within a physician-led partnership. Participate in team meetings and collaborative initiatives to improve medical services and patient outcomes.

Requirements

Candidates must be either Board Certified or Board Eligible in Pathology. Applicants must also be able to pass a background check and drug screening.
