Consulting Physician, Evidence-Based Pathways
Otter Health is seeking a Consulting Physician, Evidence-Based Pathways
Who We Are
Otter Health is a venture-backed startup revolutionizing utilization management in healthcare. Founded by leaders in healthcare and technology, Otter Health is building a disruptive technology that is going to change the current paradigm of utilization management, bringing efficiency, compassion, and care to patients, providers, and payers.
What You'll Do
We are seeking board-certified physicians across a wide range of specialties to partner with us as Consulting Physicians. This is not a typical policy-writing role. As a consultant, you will be a foundational architect of our clinical intelligence. You will translate your deep specialty-specific expertise and the best available medical evidence into clear, logical, and data-driven "pathways" that will define appropriate care on our platform.
This is a flexible, project-based consulting engagement perfect for a clinician who is passionate about evidence-based medicine, frustrated with the status quo, and excited to help build the future of healthcare administration.
Your Key Responsibilities:
Develop Clinical Pathways
Author and peer-review evidence-based clinical pathways for your specialty. These pathways will be the "source of truth" for determining medically appropriate care on the Otter Health platform.
Conduct Targeted Evidence Synthesis
Perform focused reviews of medical literature, professional society guidelines, and pivotal clinical trials to ensure every pathway is built on a rock-solid evidence base.
Define Clinical Logic
Identify the key clinical data points, diagnostic criteria, imaging results, and treatment milestones that define a patient’s journey. Your work will directly inform the logic and algorithms of our platform.
Critically Appraise Evidence
Apply your clinical judgment to assess the quality of evidence, balancing efficacy, safety, and value to create pragmatic and effective pathways.
Collaborate with a Tech-Forward Team
Work alongside Otter Health’s product, engineering, and data science teams to ensure your clinical insights are translated accurately into our technology platform.
Required Skills
- Medical degree (MD or DO) with current board certification in your specialty.
- A minimum of 5 years of post-residency clinical practice, giving you a deep understanding of real-world patient care.
- Demonstrable experience with evidence synthesis, such as authoring clinical guidelines for a professional society, serving on a P&T or Technology Assessment Committee, or developing medical policies for a payer/SBM.
- An analytical and structured thinker, capable of deconstructing complex clinical scenarios into logical steps and decision points.
- An excellent writer with the ability to communicate complex medical concepts clearly and concisely.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, innovative, and technology-driven environment. You are excited by the prospect of building something new.
