  • Diagnose, treat, and manage acute and chronic medical conditions for incarcerated patients.

  • Collaborate with nursing staff, mid-level providers, and correctional officers to deliver safe and effective patient care.

  • Accurately document patient encounters and submit billing/coding information in compliance with policies.

  • Participate in quality improvement activities, chart reviews, and peer audits.

  • Support teaching and training opportunities with UT Health San Antonio medical students and residents.

  • Participate in a rotational on-call schedule.

  • Ensure care delivery aligns with University Health’s mission, values, and established correctional health standards.

Qualifications

  • Completion of an ACGME-accredited residency program.

  • Board certification or board eligibility in your specialty.

  • Texas medical license (or ability to obtain prior to start).

  • AHA BLS certification required; ACLS (or specialty equivalent) required within 90 days for acute care.

  • Active DEA and DPS registrations.

  • Correctional health care experience is a plus, but not required.

  • Spanish/English bilingual preferred.

What We’re Looking For

  • A physician with a strong sense of social responsibility and a desire to serve underserved and justice-involved populations.

  • Ability to adapt medical care to patients with diverse cultural, psychosocial, and developmental needs.

  • Skilled communicator who can work effectively with patients, staff, and correctional personnel.

  • A commitment to quality, safety, and compassionate care even in challenging environments.

Why Join University Health?

At University Health, you’ll find more than a job—you’ll find a calling. Working in detention health care offers:

  • The chance to positively impact vulnerable populations.

  • A supportive, team-based work environment.
