This is a part-time position built around a 4-week scheduling period, consisting of:

Specific shift days and times are coordinated with clinic and regional leadership to align with clinic coverage needs.

• Coordinate physician coverage when unavailable to ensure continuity of provider support.


• Support providers in delivering evidence-based urgent care services aligned with organizational standards and clinical protocols.

Chart Review & Quality Oversight

• Perform chart reviews and prescribing oversight in accordance with Indiana and Illinois collaborative practice requirements.


• Review documentation completeness, clinical decision-making, and compliance with regulatory standards and organizational policies.


• Maintain and execute collaborative agreements in accordance with applicable state laws and organizational standards.


• Identify trends and opportunities for provider education, quality improvement, and clinical consistency.

Clinical Operations & Support

• Support development and maintenance of clinical workflows, standards, and protocols in collaboration with operational and clinical leadership.


• Participate in provider meetings, quality initiatives, and clinical improvement efforts as requested.


• Conduct periodic clinic rounding activities to support providers, observe workflows, and reinforce clinical standards.


• Assist with management of complex patient cases and clinical escalations.


• Support provider training related to urgent care procedures, documentation standards, and clinical workflows.


• Review and complete physician-level pre-surgical clearance evaluations as needed.

What We’re Looking For

• Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree from an accredited medical school.


• Active unrestricted medical license in Indiana and/or Illinois as required.
