Primary Care Clinician

Who We Are

Amae Health is a Series B, venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation that delivers specialty outpatient care for people living with severe mental illness, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar I disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. We design and operate high-acuity, in-person clinics across the United States.

Our model integrates psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community health workers under one roof to deliver coordinated, longitudinal care for a population that has historically been fragmented across systems.

Leading health systems collaborate with Amae to bring this model to their communities, including New York-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Novant Health, and CommonSpirit Health.

Why We Are Different

• Integrated care, not a referral network. Psychiatrists, therapists, primary care providers, dietitians, and community health workers work side-by-side and share responsibility for the same patients.
• Practice at the top of your license. Manageable caseloads, meaningful clinical depth, and purpose-built tools designed for this population.
• Continuous learning. Through our collaboration with Mass General Brigham, clinicians receive ongoing training, supervision, and mentorship in evidence-based SMI care.
• Advancing the field. Our clinicians contribute to new outcomes frameworks and research shaping the future of severe mental illness care.
• A model built for sustainability. Team-based care, thoughtful caseloads, and strong infrastructure make this work meaningful—and sustainable over time.

The Role

We are seeking a Primary Care Clinician (FNP, MD, or DO) for a 1099 contract role at our clinic opening in Orange, CA. This position requires an on-site commitment of 4–5 hours per week.

What You'll Work On

• Conduct thorough assessments, diagnose medical conditions, and manage acute and chronic illnesses while considering their impact on mental health
• Prescribe and manage medications, ensuring safe and effective use, while considering potential interactions with psychiatric medications

What You'll Have

• NP Degree from an accredited school or MD/DO degree from an accredited medical school
• Current, unrestricted license to practice medicine in California

• Previous experience working independently as a PCP
• Excellent clinical, communication, and interpersonal skills
• Ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team and embrace a whole-person care approach
• Strong commitment to patient-centered care

What We're Building

As a clinician at Amae, you are not adjacent to this work. You are essential to it.

• A national care delivery model for the highest-acuity patients in behavioral health.

• A clinical operating system that puts longitudinal data, real-time patient signals, and purpose-built tools into a single decision layer for care teams.
