About The Position

We are seeking three full-time Physician Assistants (PAs) to provide coverage in an urgent care setting. The clinics operate 7 days a week from 8 AM to 8 PM, with providers typically working 12-hour shifts, three shifts per week. The patient population ranges from neonates to the elderly, with an average daily patient volume of 25 to 50, increasing during cold and flu season. While the clinic handles episodic events, higher acuity cases are referred to emergency departments. Providers must be proficient in a range of procedures and diagnostic interpretations, and utilize Epic for EMR documentation. Credentialing is estimated to take 60 to 90 days.
