About CMP
Joe Czerkawski, MD or “Dr. Joe” as his patients know him, developed Corporate Medical Partners, LLC, to provide outsourced medical director services on a contract basis, ranging anywhere from 4 to 40 hours per month.
According to the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, a licensed health care clinic may not operate or be maintained without the day-to-day supervision of a single medical or clinic director. Failure by a clinic to employ a qualified medical director or clinic director constitutes a ground for emergency suspension of the license by the agency.
