About the role
At Curai, we believe that access to high-quality healthcare is a fundamental human right, not a privilege. Our mission is to radically transform healthcare by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and clinical expertise to make care more affordable, accessible, and effective for everyone. Curai Health is redefining what primary care can be: a 50-state plus D.C., AI-enabled, fully virtual medical group built to make high-quality, asynchronous care accessible at scale. We're looking for a Medical Director who is ready to lead from the front — shaping clinical strategy, developing the next generation of Clinical Leads, and helping define what responsible, physician-led AI integration looks like in modern primary care. This is a rare opportunity for an experienced physician-leader to build and scale a clinical organization from a position of real influence, reporting directly to the medical group President and partnering closely with executive, product, and compliance teams to bring a bold vision of virtual care to life. \n About the Medical Director Role As Medical Director, you'll serve as both a practicing clinician and a clinical leader — directly managing a team of Clinical Leads, driving clinical quality and performance across the medical group, and acting as a key voice in how AI is responsibly integrated into patient care. You'll chair the Credentialing Committee, serve as a collaborating/supervising physician for nurse practitioners where required, and participate in direct patient care and a 1-in-2 rotating on-call schedule alongside your leadership duties.
