About The Opportunity

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is seeking a Part-Time Optometrist (OD) to deliver high-quality vision care across multiple New Mexico communities. This is a clinic-based role where you’ll function as an extension of established outpatient teams serving senior populations.

• Diagnose and manage common ocular conditions within your scope

• Prescribe corrective lenses and provide treatment recommendations
