Pod-based teams of ~4–6 who sit and work together closely, covering for one another (very low low call-ins!). A nurse typically supports one or two providers. Medical assistants handle rooming. No fixed patient census; workload varies with the provider's daily schedule, with responsibility spread across the pod.
