JOB DESCRIPTION
Chapa-De has a full time position open in the Grass Valley clinic providing primary care to program patients in an outpatient basis. There is no OB or hospital call. Malpractice coverage is included and other benefits include a tax-sheltered 403B retirement plan, four weeks per year annual leave, one week per year of CME and medical/dental/vision benefits. There is also an opportunity for loan repayment [$25,000 per year].
A well qualified candidate will possess a current California medical license and be board eligible/certified in family medicine [pediatric/internal medicine specialties will be considered if the applicant possesses a broad experiential background]. Experience in a primary care clinical practice [with emphasis on preventive care], and experience with cross-cultural health care.
We have a comprehensive program that provides medical, dental and community services [mental/behavioral health, smoking cessation, prenatal education, etc.] to primarily a Native American population in the surrounding counties. We also serve patients with no insurance, Medi-Cal and Medicare. Our population benefits greatly from education and we therefore typically have much more time with each patient than one might find in an HMO or private practice setting.

Information about the Area
Chapa-De Indian Health Program, Inc.’s Grass Valley Clinic: Charming historic gold rush towns surrounded by rolling hills and towering green pines, graceful oaks shading pastures in the lower elevations and snow-covered Sierra peaks in the background, the quality of life that makes Nevada County unique. With an average elevation of 2,500 feet, the area enjoys a mild, four-season climate. Skies are generally a brilliant blue from May to October with average temperatures ranging from 70 to 90 degrees during the daytime, cooling off to the 50's in the evenings. The rainy season from November to April is also mild. Daytime temperatures typically rise to the 40's and 50's and nighttime temperatures drop into the 30's. The average rainfall is 55 inches per year. While light snow may fall a few times a year, it rarely lasts very long. Each year, families and retirees take advantage of the ultimate golden opportunity by choosing to make western Nevada County their new home. Leaving behind the congestion, clutter and rampant crime of the urban areas, they are charmed by the casual country lifestyle, finding small town friendliness, community celebrations, civic and special interest clubs, farmer's markets, outdoor fun, recreational opportunities and cultural events for everyone to enjoy. Time Magazine, in its December 8, 1998 edition, named Grass Valley as one of California's "Hot Small Towns" and Nevada City was featured in The Great Towns of America. Even with all of its rural appeal, the community is not isolated. The California State Capitol, Sacramento, is only an hour's drive away. San Francisco is 150 miles to the west. To the east, the fun and excitement of Reno and Lake Tahoe are within easy driving distance.
