About Blueberry Balance
Blueberry Balance is a virtual, pediatric-led metabolic health program for adolescents, built by Blueberry Pediatrics. We pair board-certified pediatricians with in-house registered dietitians and exercise specialists to deliver comprehensive weight-management care — including GLP-1 therapy where clinically appropriate — to teens and their families at home.
Adolescent metabolic health is one of the most under-served areas in pediatrics. Most GLP-1 telehealth is built adult-first and gates care at 18, leaving families with elevated-BMI teens to navigate months-long waitlists at hospital-based programs or nothing at all. Balance exists to close that gap with real pediatric expertise and a holistic, family-centered model — never medication in isolation.
The Opportunity
The Practicing Physician is a frontline clinician on the Balance care team. You will carry your own panel of Balance families — running intake, reviewing labs, designing care plans with families, prescribing GLP-1 therapy where appropriate, and managing that care over time — all within the protocols and multidisciplinary model the program is built on.
This is a part-time (1099), flexible engagement designed to grow with the program: it starts at a modest monthly commitment and scales up as the panel does. It's a strong fit for a physician who wants meaningful clinical work in adolescent metabolic health without a leadership mandate, and who is interested in building obesity-medicine expertise on the job. You don't need to have run a program or hold an obesity-medicine certification to do this role well — you need sound clinical judgment, genuine interest in this population, and the willingness to work inside a coordinated, distributed care team.
What You'll Own:
Patient intake and evaluation
Complete comprehensive patient intake for adolescents entering the program, including history, risk factors, and eligibility review
Order appropriate labs and review results, escalating findings that fall outside program guardrails
Care planning and treatment
Meet with patients and their families to design an appropriate, individualized care plan grounded in each teen's goals and clinical picture
Prescribe and manage GLP-1 therapy where clinically appropriate, always within a holistic plan that includes nutrition and behavioral support — and know when medication is not the right answer
Manage ongoing care for patients and families over time: monitoring visits, dose management, side-effect and safety management, and adherence support
Care-team coordination
Coordinate with other care team members — physicians, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, and health coaches — so each family experiences one cohesive care plan rather than a set of disconnected touchpoints
Follow the program's clinical protocols and escalation pathways, and surface complex or ambiguous cases to the Physician Lead
Experience You'll Need
MD or DO with active, unrestricted medical license in good standing
Comfort and credibility caring for adolescents and their families
Interest in adolescent and obesity medicine, and a willingness to complete light onboarding training in weight/obesity management and GLP-1 therapy
Availability of 20–80 hours per month, starting on the lower end and scaling up as the program grows
Strong written communication; comfort operating in an asynchronous, distributed telehealth care team
Preferred Experience
Board certification in Obesity Medicine (ABOM/DABOM), or a clear path to gaining certification
Prior experience prescribing or managing GLP-1 therapy
Experience delivering care via telehealth, and fluency with the workflow differences it demands
Experience working alongside registered dietitians, behavioral health clinicians, and health coaches in a multidisciplinary model
Bilingual (Spanish/English) or experience serving linguistically diverse pediatric populations
Time Commitment and Growth Trajectory
This is a part-time role, starting at 20–80 hours per month and scaling with the program's patient panel.
