Here you'll help catch it early and keep people off dialysis. A day with us You start in clinic with a scribe on your visits and your patients already prepped. You see a mix of new referrals and patients you know by name, adjusting blood pressure and diabetes medicines and walking a family through what their lab numbers mean.

How we use AI here Our care is delivered by people: physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, medical assistants, scribes and front-office staff. We're gradually adding AI tools to support that team. They help our scribes produce more complete, higher-quality notes and help our providers be more thorough. You'll be trained on these tools as they arrive, and learning to work with them is a skill you'll keep for your whole career.
