Job description

We Are Hiring Remote Physicians for APP Supervision & Clinical Support

As a Prisma Health Urgent Care Remote Supervising Physician, you will provide clinical oversight, consultation, and support to Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, Prisma Health Urgent Care policies and procedures, established clinical standards, and organizational needs.

The physician will be assigned a formal South Carolina Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician relationship and will be responsible for fulfilling all applicable oversight, documentation, clinical review, delegation, and related responsibilities associated with that assignment.

This is a fully remote position; however, the physician must physically reside in the state of South Carolina.

In This Role, You Will

• Provide timely clinical consultation and support to APPs during assigned supervision or coverage periods, including by telephone or other approved communication methods when you are not physically present at the center.
• Provide clinical guidance and review cases requiring physician involvement, including high-risk complaints, critical findings, abnormal vital signs, ECGs, and other situations requiring physician escalation.
• Provide appropriate clinical direction when concerns arise, including recommendations for additional evaluation, treatment, changes to the plan of care, follow-up, or escalation to a higher level of care.
• Review and cosign APP documentation when required by applicable law, credentialing requirements, or Prisma Health Urgent Care policy.
• Provide additional clinical support and case review for newly hired, newly credentialed, or otherwise designated APPs during orientation or enhanced supervision periods.
• Participate in applicable quality improvement and peer review activities related to APP practice, including providing clinical feedback and escalating significant quality or patient safety concerns through established processes.
• Support APP practice within the provider’s authorized scope of practice and applicable requirements related to physician supervision, collaboration, delegation, and prescriptive authority.

Daily APP Support & Coverage

Prisma Health Urgent Care utilizes a team-based physician coverage model.

Depending on operational needs, you may serve as the Supervising Physician for your assigned centers on certain days. In this capacity, you will provide clinical consultation and support to APPs within your center and, when needed, to APPs practicing at surrounding Prisma Health Urgent Care centers.

Daily physician coverage and support responsibilities are separate from formal South Carolina Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician assignments and may or may not correspond directly with the APPs assigned to you under an individual supervising or collaborating physician agreement.

Minimum Qualifications

• Must physically reside in the state of South Carolina
• Board Certified or Board Eligible and licensed to practice medicine in South Carolina
• Current DEA registration
• Experience with procedures including suturing and drainage of abscesses
• Experience reading diagnostic studies, including X-rays and EKGs
• BLS certification (we will provide this if needed)
• Meets eligibility requirements for credentialing set forth by Prisma Health Urgent Care / WellStreet Urgent Care
• Experience in Urgent Care, Family Medicine, or Emergency Medicine preferred
• Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively with patients, families, and other employees

Personal Characteristics

• Outstanding bedside manner with children and adults
• Ability to communicate effectively with patients, families, and other employees
• Positive, energetic attitude that inspires other team members
• Sense of service and team orientation, absent of hubris
• Desire to contribute to building and maintaining a great organization

What We’re Looking For

In addition to the above requirements, we are seeking team members with the following qualities:

• Willingness to go the extra mile to create an outstanding experience for patients and to support and lead the center team in doing the same
• A desire to work in concert with others in an upbeat and supportive atmosphere while reinforcing the organization’s mission to provide uncompromising service
• A compelling desire to serve others, improve your community’s health, and have fun every day!
