ABOUT THIS TEMP POSITION
This is a part-time temporary position, and the length of the assignment is estimated to go from December to March with the possibility of extension.

There could be some schedule flexibility for the right candidate. This position will support our five service counties: Santa Cruz, Monterey, Merced, San Benito, and Mariposa, California; however, you will be working fully remotely in California or the greater US with a valid California Board Certified Medical License.
