Doing this job remotely

This role is remote mainly at telehealth and multi-state organizations whose clinicians are distributed themselves. Presidents of groups with physical clinics are expected to be visible on site. Regular travel for board meetings, site visits and payer or partner negotiations is normal, and state rules on physician ownership of medical practices can shape how the position is structured.

Where it comes from and where it leads

Presidents usually come from roles such as chief medical officer, chief operating officer or regional medical director, often after years of clinical practice plus management training. From here they move to health system executive positions, chief executive roles, or board and advisory work.
