About the Role

The Department of Weight & Lifestyle Medicine at Atrius Health is seeking a Board-Certified Internal Medicine (ABIM) or Family Medicine (ABFM) physician who is ABOM-certified to join our growing team. We are a collaborative, innovative group of clinicians passionate about helping patients achieve healthier lives through evidence-based obesity and lifestyle medicine.

In this role, you will provide direct outpatient care for patients with obesity and related conditions, developing individualized, evidence-based treatment plans that incorporate behavioral, nutritional, pharmacologic, and bariatric surgical therapies. You will work closely within a multidisciplinary team that includes physicians, nurse practitioners, dietitians, psychologists, and surgeons. Beyond clinical duties, you will participate in program development, quality improvement initiatives, and educational activities to stay current on advancements in obesity medicine and bariatric care.

You will be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that challenges you, offering clear direction on success and opportunities for professional development in other roles you may be interested in.

At UnitedHealth Group, our mission is to help people live healthier lives and make the health system work better for everyone. We believe everyone—of every race, gender, sexuality, age, location, and income—deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life. Today, however, there are still far too many barriers to good health, which are disproportionately experienced by people of color, historically marginalized groups, and those with lower incomes. We are committed to mitigating our impact on the environment and enabling and delivering equitable care that addresses health disparities and improves health outcomes.
