Job Description

🏥 Build the Future of Hospital Medicine in Coastal Texas – Join WellMed in Corpus Christi

A partner of the Optum Care network, WellMed Medical Group is seeking a passionate and purpose-driven Hospitalist to join our growing team in Corpus Christi, TX . This is more than a job—it’s a chance to shape the future of inpatient care in one of Texas’s most vibrant and scenic coastal communities.

At Optum, we’re transforming healthcare nationally while delivering physician-led care locally. As part of the largest care delivery organization in the world, you’ll have the tools, support, and autonomy to do your life’s best work.

🌟 Why This Role Stands Out

  • Be a Pioneer : Help expand and elevate WellMed’s hospitalist program in Corpus Christi, bringing value-based, patient-centered care to the inpatient setting.
  • Collaborative Model : Work with a comprehensive care team where 100% of patients have a WellMed primary care provider.
  • Quality Over Quantity : Typical census is 13–15 patients per day, allowing you to focus on outcomes, not volume.
  • Whole-Person Care : Our model integrates physical, mental, and social health to treat the whole patient.
  • Geriatric-Focused : Serve a panel of Medicare Advantage patients with a focus on prevention and quality of life.
  • Performance-Based Incentives : Bonuses tied to quality metrics—not RVUs.

💼 Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary + quality-based bonuses
  • OptumCare Physician Partnership Plan
  • 401(k) with match, Executive Savings Plan, and Employee Stock Purchase Program
  • Comprehensive benefits through Optum Partner Services
  • Relocation assistance available

🌴 Why You’ll Love Living in Corpus Christi

Nestled on the Gulf of Mexico, Corpus Christi offers a unique blend of coastal charm, cultural richness, and outdoor adventure. Enjoy:

  • Beachfront Living : Miles of sandy shores, water sports, and stunning sunsets
  • Affordable Lifestyle : Low cost of living with no state income tax
  • Family-Friendly : Great schools, safe neighborhoods, and a welcoming community
  • Nature & Wildlife : Explore the Padre Island National Seashore or kayak through coastal estuaries
  • Vibrant Culture : A mix of Texan and coastal influences with festivals, art, and local cuisine

Whether you're looking to slow down and enjoy the sea breeze or build something meaningful in a supportive medical community, Corpus Christi offers the perfect backdrop for both.
