About Counsel

Counsel’s mission is to multiply the world's healthcare capacity. We believe in a future in which every person has a personalized, AI-enabled doctor always in their pocket. To accomplish this, we’re building the first fully-vertical, AI-native medical group from the ground up. We’ve redesigned the entire clinical stack with custom AI tools that make our in-house physicians 10x faster and smarter. [learn more on our blog]

Since our founding in 2023, we have formed partnerships with leading healthcare organizations and are on track to serve hundreds of thousands of patients on our platform within the next year. We have raised over $35M from a16z, Google Ventures, Pear VC and other top-tier VC firms.

Our team combines deep expertise in medicine (Harvard, Mt. Sinai, Mass General, UCSF) and technology (MIT, Google, DeepMind, NVIDIA, Stripe, Meta) — and we’re looking for exceptional people to join us as we scale.

Join us as we build the future of AI in healthcare!

About the role

Location: Remote (United States), multi-state licensure preferred

Team: Clinical

Reports to: VP of Care Delivery

Employment: W2 or 1099. We'll structure the role to fit how you want to work

Schedule: Flexible. 0.8, 0.9, and 1.0 FTE available; W2 or 1099: we'll structure the role to fit how you want to work

Ability to commit at least 20 hours per week.
Ability to work up to 2 evening shifts and 2 weekend shifts per month. No overnights.
Shift blocks (EST): 7:30a–1p, 1p–6p, 6p–9p.

This is a clinical role, full stop. As a Physician on our Virtual Care team, you'll spend the vast majority of your time doing what you trained for: seeing patients. The difference is how. Your visits will be messaging-based, AI-paired, and built around what's actually best for the patient instead of what the EMR will let you click. You'll be the clinician on the other end of the message: the one a patient turns to at 7pm on a Tuesday for their rash, their refill, or the random pain they've been ignoring.

Your day is patient care and every conversation you have with a Counsel patient sharpens how we care for everyone who comes next. That's what it means to multiply the world's healthcare capacity.

What you'll do

Practice exceptional, AI-paired medicine.

See patients across acute, primary, and longevity care over messages: diagnose, treat, triage, follow up
Practice with Counsel's AI like a sharp colleague who's already read the chart: it preps the history, sharpens the differential, drafts the message. The part only you can do, your judgment, the human on the other end of the message, gets your full attention
Hold a high bar on every encounter: the clinical reasoning, the safety, the way it lands with the patient
Stay generalist. The patients our partners send us need urgent care today, primary care tomorrow, and something none of us have seen yet next week

Raise the bar on the clinical team.

Work with the CMO and VP of Care Delivery on the guidelines, peer review, and clinical systems that keep care safe as the team grows
Mentor newer clinicians; share what's working; raise the bar without making it about you

Shape the tools you practice in.

Counsel is built on a simple principle: clinicians first, technologists second. The people designing what you practice in want your pushback, your instincts, your taste
A workflow that frustrates you this week can be fixed in the next few. A tool you've been waiting years for can land in your hands in a matter of months

What you bring

Board certification in Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, or Family Medicine, with an active medical license (10+ licenses preferred; exceptional candidates with less will be considered)
3+ years of post-residency clinical experience (urgent care, ER, primary care, or a strong generalist mix)
Genuine interest in acute, primary, and longevity care
Comfort working in a fully virtual, asynchronous, messaging-based modality
Strong written communication, most of your patient care happens in writing

Bonus points for

Multi-state licensure already in hand, or a track record of standing up new licenses quickly
Prior telehealth, virtual-first, or DTC healthcare experience
Experience incorporating the longevity into your clinical practice
A real point of view on AI in clinical practice - you've used the tools and formed opinions
Fast-paced acute environment (ER, urgent care) background where triage instincts are second nature

Who you are

A role-model clinician. Patients leave feeling heard, helped, and clear on what's next
Bullish on AI in medicine, and clear-eyed about its limits. You see what's promising and what's not, and you say so
A generalist by temperament. You'd rather solve a hard, weird problem than do the same thing perfectly a thousand times
Comfortable with ambiguity and quick to take ownership when something's unclear
Optimistic about hard problems. Healthcare is messy and AI is moving fast, you're energized by that, not braced for it

What We Offer

You'll work with people who care deeply about the work and about each other. You'll practice medicine the way you've always wanted to, with the time, tools, and teammates to do it well.

Rate & Flexibility: $140-$155/h, fully remote. Flexible work schedule.
Impact: An opportunity to be at the vanguard of AI-augmented care delivery.
Growth: Professional development and growth opportunities within a rapidly scaling venture-backed company.
Culture: A collaborative and innovative work environment where your ideas and contributions are valued

Our Values

Patients come first. We are clinicians 1st, technologists 2nd. We act with patient trust/safety at the center of every decision.
Innovate with optimism. We are optimistic as we build the future of care delivery from first principles. Challenge the status quo when needed, no sacred cows.
Right answer wins. Debate openly and pick the strongest path. We optimize for the company, not functions. We win and lose as a team.
Simplicity over complexity. We choose clear, elegant solutions and avoid adding complexity that does not serve patients or the team.
Do fewer things, well. We focus, and hold ourselves to the highest bar and pursue excellence in those areas.

Within your first few days at Counsel, somewhere in the country, a patient will get the kind of care most people don't yet know is possible because of the work you did here. If that's the kind of medicine you want to practice, we want to meet you.
