Working at Vera
- A Day in the Life

One of the hardest things to imagine during a job interview is what it’s actually like to work there. How many patients will you see each day? Will you be able to make a real impact on the health of your patients? Will you burn out in the process?

Vera Whole Health is the best option for healthcare professionals who are ready to do things a little differently. If you’re done with churning through one patient after another in the fee-for-service model, Vera might be just the place for you.

A New Type of
Healthcare Job

People are at the center of everything we do, and relationships are the cornerstone of that philosophy, especially the relationship between patients and their doctors, advanced practice clinicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. Vera team members even receive training in empathy! Our Advanced Primary Care model ensures our patients are more engaged, play an active role in their own healthcare, and experience better overall outcomes as a result.

Take an inside look at what it’s like to work at Vera. We’ll walk you through a day in the life of a provider, a health coach, and an allied staff member.

A Day in the Life of a
Vera Healthcare Provider

“From residency to private practice, healthcare has always felt like a scramble to balance quality care and time management. And, more and more, the economic pressures to bill and collect for services have dominated. The Vera model has allowed more time to provide excellent care, develop deep relationships with patients, and avoid the threat of provider burnout. I’m inspired by the satisfaction that comes from overcoming a challenge, solving a puzzle, or aiding someone in times of physical or emotional distress. Vera Whole Health allows me to be the best provider I can be.”

Our healthcare providers — including nurse practitioners and physician assistants — have time to truly listen to their patients’ thoughts and concerns, with appointments running from 30-60 minutes long. Appointments are limited to an average of 12-14 per day in order to prevent fatigue. At Vera, we understand personalized, meaningful care takes time. Providers are also encouraged to focus on quality over frequency, accomplishing more in every visit, and truly doing right by their patients. Multiple appointments aren't required to address acute and chronic issues, as well as patient well-being.

A Day in the Life of a
Vera Health Coach

"One of my biggest pleasures and values is authentic and meaningful connection with others, and Vera allows the time and opportunity for me to have that with patients. I also find overlap in the value of personal growth and learning, for myself, patients and the organization as a whole. I love that mindfulness and intentional actions are important to the culture as well."
