How One Medical supports Clinicians
One Medical supports clinicians by providing the time, collaboration, technology, and professional autonomy needed to focus on high-quality patient care. Through a relationship-based care model, team-based support, continued learning, and opportunities to shape healthcare innovation, clinicians can build meaningful patient relationships while growing their careers. More time with every patient – standard, not the exception.
More time to build meaningful patient relationships
Patient relationships are central to care at One Medical. Clinicians support patients through preventive care, chronic condition management, acute concerns, wellness visits, and ongoing healthcare needs. This continuity helps clinicians understand each patient’s history, goals, and care needs in context.
More time with patients supports thoughtful conversations and relationship-based care. Clinicians listen, understand the full picture, and help patients make informed decisions about their health.
Team-based support is part of everyday care
Dedicated support staff handle labs, coordination, and patient flow. This structure helps clinicians remain focused on clinical decision-making and patient care while support teams manage essential parts of the broader care experience. Clinicians work alongside in-office teammates, virtual clinical partners, Patient Operations professionals, Allied Health teams, and operational leaders.
The care model helps clinicians practice at the top of their license while working as part of a collaborative team focused on patient outcomes. Collaboration also creates opportunities to exchange knowledge, solve challenges together, and learn from colleagues with different areas of expertise.
Many Clinical teams participate in daily huddles and Clinical Rounds that promote shared learning, knowledge exchange, and continuous improvement. Clinicians also learn from primary care and domain experts across the organization through collaboration, mentorship, and ongoing knowledge-sharing opportunities that support continued professional growth.
Clinicians have the autonomy to apply their expertise
One Medical supports clinicians in using their knowledge, judgment, and experience to provide individualized care. The model combines independent clinical decision-making with access to colleagues, shared expertise, and team-based support.
Outcomes over volume – no RVU targets. This focus keeps quality, clinical outcomes, and patient needs at the center of healthcare delivery. It also gives candidates a clear understanding of how One Medical approaches clinician impact.
Autonomy is also an established part of the experience for advanced practice clinicians. NPs and PAs manage their own panels with full autonomy. NPs and PAs lead relationships with their patients while working within a collaborative care environment. This approach pairs ownership of patient care with connection to a broader Clinical team.
Technology supports the way clinicians work
One Medical uses a proprietary electronic health record called 1Life.
Built by clinicians, designed around how you actually work. 1Life supports documentation, communication, and care coordination throughout the care journey. It was developed around the One Medical care model to support the needs of clinicians and patients.
Purpose-built technology that actually supports your workflow. By connecting important clinical information and workflows, 1Life supports coordinated care and gives clinicians access to the information they need as they work with patients. Technology is not presented as separate from the care model. It is part of how One Medical supports communication, clinical work, and the overall patient experience.
Clinicians help shape the technology they use
Clinician feedback influences how One Medical’s technology evolves. Care teams provide practical insight into workflows, patient needs, and opportunities to improve the tools used in everyday practice.
You won’t just use our technology – you’ll help build it. Clinicians and teams inform technology enhancements through ongoing feedback and collaboration. Their perspective helps identify real clinical challenges and shape tools around the needs of the people delivering care.
This gives clinicians an active role in shaping how technology supports patient care and the broader clinician experience.
Learning continues throughout your career
One Medical supports learning from onboarding through continued career development. Depending on role, clinicians participate in orientation, onboarding, continuing education, mentorship, and leadership development opportunities throughout their careers.
Clinicians also learn from primary care and domain experts across the organization through collaboration, shared clinical knowledge, and ongoing professional development. Clinical leaders and colleagues help foster career growth, continuous improvement, and knowledge-sharing across the organization. Clinical Rounds and other learning opportunities help clinicians exchange perspectives, strengthen clinical expertise, and continue learning throughout their careers.
Career development can take many forms. Clinicians may deepen their clinical expertise, mentor colleagues, contribute to quality-improvement initiatives, participate in specialty working groups, help shape clinical technology, contribute to operational initiatives, or pursue leadership opportunities that extend their impact beyond direct patient care.
This approach gives clinicians multiple ways to grow their skills, expand their impact, and remain connected to patient care while contributing to the future of healthcare delivery.
Support that strengthens patient care
One Medical brings together the time, support, autonomy, and technology clinicians need to deliver relationship-based care.
Clinicians have more time to understand their patients, dedicated support for key care processes, the autonomy to apply their expertise, and opportunities to improve the tools and care model they use. Together, these elements help clinicians build trust with patients, collaborate with colleagues, and contribute to the continued development of primary care.
"Our VMTs play a key role in removing many tasks from a provider’s inbox. Because they handle countless patient requests and provide services like reporting normal lab results to patients, providers can focus on the person in front of them."
Natasha Bhuyan, MD
"Several clinicians who are medical writers scan, review, and summarize top medical journals, and incorporate trends beyond academic research in a summary we call Big Medical News. This helps keep clinicians current and saves them time."
Spencer Blackman, MD, Senior Director of Clinical EducationFrequently asked questions
