Job Description
About Atria
The Atria Health Institute is a membership-based primary and specialty health care practice with a focus on prevention and longevity. We bring together a multidisciplinary team of renowned physicians to provide proactive, preventive, and precision-based care for Atria members and their families. All care, including primary care, advanced screening and diagnostics, urgent care, specialty care, 24/7 home visits, and imaging is included in members’ annual fee.
Our mission is to make healthspan and lifespan equal for all by translating science into medicine in real-time, all while bringing humanity back into health care. Delivering such robust, personalized, and preventive health care is complex and requires a team-wide dedication to excellence.
After successfully opening our flagship Institute in New York in 2022 and expanding to South Florida in 2024, we are now bringing the Atria experience to the West Coast with the launch of our Los Angeles Institute in late spring 2026.
About the Role
The Emergency Medicine Physician in New York delivers urgent care to pediatric and adult members, roughly half in the Institute and half in members' homes. Alongside direct care, you carry clinical oversight for the urgent care advanced care providers and Home Services nurses who deliver the majority of home visit volume. You triage incoming urgent requests, direct the care plan, and take the visit yourself when acuity or scope calls for physician-level care.
You work closely with members' Chief Medical Officers and their care pods, and with specialists across internal medicine, cardiology, neurology, pediatrics, geriatrics, women's health, endocrinology, pulmonology, and performance and movement.
Job duties
Direct Clinical Care
Evaluate and treat urgent concerns across the age spectrum in the Institute and in members' homes, from minor illness through undifferentiated high-acuity presentations.
- Stabilize members, and refer, admit, or transfer when a higher level of care is appropriate.
- Perform and interpret point-of-care ultrasound as a routine part of the diagnostic evaluation.
Use our on-site laboratory, imaging center, and diagnostic tools, including mobile spirometry and rapid molecular testing.
Perform procedures in the Institute and in the home, including laceration repair, incision and drainage, foreign body removal, peripheral IV placement and infusion, wound care, vaccination, and phlebotomy. Blood draws and IV placement are a regular part of the role.
Document in Athena during the shift, and sign out active issues at the end of each shift.
Clinical Oversight and Coordination
Supervise, triage, and direct the care delivered by urgent care advanced care providers and Home Services nurses, including determining which visits require a physician.
Partner with CMO teams to plan urgent evaluations, and close the loop on results, after-care instructions, and follow-up.
Monitor Slack channels during shifts to confirm that visits are triaged, staffed, and scheduled with an appropriate arrival window and travel time.
Coordinate with care coordination, nursing, medical assistants, laboratory, and hospitality teams so that a member's experience holds together across settings.
Department Contribution
Lead and contribute to quality improvement work within urgent care and Home Services, including protocol development, Guru documentation, and review of clinical outcomes.

Participate in EM faculty meetings and in clinical policy work as relevant.
