We maintain outpatient operations both at the Venice Medical Office Building and the Baldwin Hills – Crenshaw Medical Office Building; exact site availability will vary based on workday(s) requested and staff availability.
About the position: WLA physicians are team players; they are collaborative, friendly, and work well together. Accessing experienced consultants, utilizing a diverse formulary, and navigating Epic medical records makes care here better for patients and working here more streamlined for physicians. WLA's patient population is diverse, and the dermatologists see a wide variety of dermatologic conditions. Providing value-based, evidence-based care and addressing healthcare disparities are central to our work. We care about making patients feel satisfied, and we take the extra time and effort when needed. We have our own Mohs surgeon and dermatopathologist. KP is also at the forefront of incorporating AI-guided workflows into note drafting, patient scheduling and appointment reminders, and refill automation. Job descriptions are subject to change to meet the operational needs of the department and medical center.
