Role at a Glance

One Medical is hiring a per diem Family Medicine Physician for 8–16 hours of patient care per week at $120/hr across three suburban Chicago locations — Deerfield, Oak Brook, and Skokie. You'll cover a rotating mix of acute, chronic, and preventive visits with occasional telehealth. This is not a panel-building role. Board Certification in Family Medicine or MedPeds and a minimum of two years of primary care experience are required.

What This Role Looks Like Day-to-Day

This hourly, casual-status position puts you in front of a broad, rotating patient population rather than a fixed panel — suited for physicians who want real clinical variety without a full-time commitment. You'll move across three One Medical suburban Chicago clinics, managing a mix of acute illness, chronic condition care, and preventive exams. Occasional virtual visits supplement the in-office schedule, and each week closes with a shared provider learning session. On-site labs and a modern EHR support the clinical workflow throughout.

About One Medical

One Medical is a tech-forward primary care company that has spent roughly fifteen years redesigning what a routine doctor's visit feels like — emphasizing shorter waits, coordinated care, and a blend of in-person and around-the-clock virtual access. Services span prevention, chronic disease management, common illness treatment, and behavioral health, with on-site diagnostics at most locations. In early 2023, One Medical became part of Amazon, expanding its reach to a broader set of employers and health networks. The Chicago suburban clinics are part of a growing national presence built on the premise that high-quality primary care should be genuinely accessible.

What You'll Do

  • Deliver in-office patient care spanning acute illness, chronic condition management, and preventive wellness visits — without managing an assigned patient panel
  • Conduct occasional telehealth appointments as part of the weekly clinical schedule
  • Join daily team huddles with in-office colleagues and coordinate on cases with virtual clinical teams
  • Perform in-office procedures that fall within your clinical training and scope of practice
  • Obtain additional state medical licensure if requested to expand coverage for One Medical's virtual primary care program

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 2 years of primary care clinical experience
  • Board Certification in Family Medicine or MedPeds (Medicine-Pediatrics)
  • Active Illinois medical license, or a clear and documented path to obtaining one
  • Effective communicator in both individual patient encounters and team settings
  • Willingness to obtain licensure in additional states to support virtual care expansion
  • Comfortable operating within a data-informed, fast-growing healthcare organization

Qualities One Medical Values in Its Providers

  • Genuine commitment to equitable, human-centered care for patients across varied backgrounds and life circumstances
  • Confidence using clinical technology and EHR platforms as everyday tools rather than necessary obstacles
  • Evidence-based clinical practice with fluency in current primary care guidelines
  • Openness to structured feedback and self-reflection as a path to ongoing professional development
  • Ease navigating ambiguity — both clinical uncertainty and interpersonal situations with patients or colleagues
  • Adaptability in communication style to match the needs of individual patients and team dynamics

Skills Snapshot: Hard Requirements vs. Valued Attributes

Two credentials function as strict gatekeepers: Board Certification in Family Medicine or MedPeds, and an Illinois medical license (or a verifiable path to one). Two years of primary care experience rounds out the non-negotiable list. Beyond those, One Medical weights EHR fluency and technology comfort heavily — the platform is central to care delivery, not optional. Adaptability and cross-cultural communication carry more weight here than in a traditional private-practice setting, reflecting a diverse suburban patient population and a company culture built around continuous improvement.

Pay & Compensation Clarity

The employer-listed hourly rate for this role is $120 per hour. One Medical notes that final pay may vary depending on your practice experience and the patient care schedule you commit to, and that candidates who exceed the stated qualifications may be eligible for additional compensation. At 8–16 hours of patient care per week, gross weekly earnings would range from $960 to $1,920 before taxes based on stated hours and rate alone — actual scheduled hours set the real figure. This is a casual-employee, hourly role; no base salary is attached. Full compensation details are available on the One Medical careers page.

Benefits for Casual Providers

  • Malpractice insurance — 100% covered by One Medical
  • UpToDate subscription — evidence-based clinical decision-support tool included
  • One Medical-issued laptop for secure EHR access
  • Sick time PTO in line with local regulatory requirements
  • Annual CME stipend for continuing medical education
  • Weekly Rounds — providers end patient care one hour early for a shared provider learning experience
  • Discounted registration for One Medical's Annual REAL primary care conference

Where You'll Work

In-person patient care rotates across three One Medical suburban Chicago locations: Deerfield, Skokie (Old Orchard), and Oak Brook Promenade. Occasional telehealth appointments are part of the schedule, creating a hybrid in-office and virtual clinical environment. Visa sponsorship is not mentioned in this posting. Relocation assistance is not stated. Illinois medical licensure must be active or obtainable before patient care begins; providers may later be asked to obtain licensure in additional states to support virtual care.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum weekly time commitment for this per diem position?

The role is structured around 8 to 16 hours of direct patient care per week. The schedule rotates across three suburban Chicago One Medical locations — Deerfield, Skokie, and Oak Brook — and may include telehealth sessions in addition to in-office hours.

Do I need an active Illinois medical license to apply?

An active IL license is the goal, but candidates who can obtain Illinois licensure are also considered — the posting explicitly lists 'ability to obtain licensure' as an acceptable alternative. You will need active licensure in place before seeing patients.

Is this a panel-based primary care role?

No. One Medical describes this as a non-panel position. Rather than managing a fixed roster of assigned patients, you'll see a broad, rotating mix of visits — acute illness, chronic condition follow-ups, and preventive wellness appointments — without ongoing panel ownership.

What board certifications qualify for this role?

Board Certification in either Family Medicine or MedPeds (Medicine-Pediatrics) meets the requirement. At least two years of primary care clinical experience is also required alongside the certification.

Are telehealth shifts included, and could this role require out-of-state licensing?

Yes on both counts. Occasional virtual visits are part of the in-office rotation. Additionally, One Medical notes that providers may be asked to obtain licensure in states beyond Illinois to support the company's virtual primary care coverage — willingness to pursue that is listed as a requirement.
