Advocate Health and Hospitals Corporation • Shelby, NC

13d • $48 - $71 • Hybrid

About The Position

We invite Pediatric Advanced Practice Clinicians to discover all that we can do when we bring healing hearts, inquisitive minds, and progressive visionaries together in our Virtual Services Group as part of our Children’s Primary Care Division. We are seeking three Pediatric Advanced Practice Clinicians to join our Virtual Primary Care and Extended Care multisite practice. Clinicians are expected to live in the greater Charlotte, NC, area, one of the fastest growing areas in the country. This position is a hybrid position and includes work on both the VPC and EC platforms. Virtual Primary Care (VPC): This practice is staffed by Advanced Practice Clinicians, supported by the physician team. These APPS may also provide in-office visits as coverage for providers outside of the office. Patients can schedule directly with their provider, preserving the trusted provider-patient relationship found in traditional practices on this virtual platform. Nutrition counseling, Parent education, Virtual house calls, Chronic disease management, and Behavioral health consultation are services offered by the virtual primary care practice. In person care is provided through Extended Care Clinic offering full primary care services in the evenings and during weekends. Extended Care (EC): In the evenings and on weekends, APPs will transition from VPC to providing shared IN-PERSON after-hours care Friday and every other Saturday and Sunday. In a weekend position the APP will work on VPC during the day and then transition to the Extended Care site from 5p-9p for in person visits on Friday. Saturday and Sunday work will be alternating on the VPC platform remotely and the Extended Care in-person location. The provider will therefore be able to have a mix of both virtual/remote and direct patient care. The Extended Care location will be open from 5-9 pm M-F and 8a-8p on Sat and Sun.
