[Hiring] Medical Director, Musculoskeletal Programs @Devoted Health

Role Description

Devoted Health is redefining healthcare. We are seeking a physician leader to help build our national Musculoskeletal (MSK) practice — a new clinical program built on the backbone of Devoted Medical's AI platform and delivered to a member population that is already deeply engaged with us.

MSK is one of the largest sources of pain, disability, and avoidable spend for the seniors we serve, and it is poorly served on both ends of the market. The traditional system routes back pain and knee osteoarthritis toward imaging, injections, and surgery that many members never needed.

We think there is a better model, and we are looking for the physician to build it by example. You will help to define the care model, translate best-in-class care patterns into an agentic system that scales, and build the team that puts a high-trust, high-empathy human overlay on top of it. This is a player-coach role with a real panel of patients attached — you will practice the medicine you are designing, and the model you write will become how tens of thousands of members experience MSK care.

You will not start from zero. Devoted Medical already operates a suite of virtual and in-home clinical programs, an AI platform embedded across our clinical workflows, and an engaged member base that answers the phone when we call. Your work is to recombine what already works with the new elements MSK demands.

Responsibilities and impact

• Design the care model.
• Own the clinical architecture of the MSK program end to end:
• Define which conditions we take on and in what order.
• Determine how members enter and are triaged.
• Outline what a first visit looks like.
• Decide how we escalate to imaging or surgical consultation and when we hold.
• Manage pain without defaulting to opioids.
• Handle peri-operative optimization and post-operative recovery.
• Build the AI system.
• Deliver care.
• Build the team.
• Measure and improve.

Attributes to success

• Builder's instinct.
• Clinical excellence.
• Fluency across clinical and technical work.

Required skills and experience

• Board-certified physician in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Sports Medicine, Rheumatology, Orthopedic Surgery, or Internal Medicine / Family Medicine with substantial MSK practice.
• Significant clinical experience managing common MSK conditions in adults, including older adults with multimorbidity.
• Demonstrated experience building or substantially redesigning a clinical program, pathway, or service line — not only running one.
• A deep belief in measuring and improving quality across a population, and comfort being held to outcomes.
• Experience serving diverse patient populations, with care that aligns with our mission to treat every member like family.

Desired skills and experience

• 5+ years of experience delivering MSK care in a sports medicine, PM&R, or orthopedics practice.
• Experience supervising Advanced Practice Providers, physical therapists, or other clinicians.

• Experience with virtual or hybrid care delivery.
