About The Position

Under Prisma Health Urgent Care’s team-based physician coverage model, the physician may also support APPs at assigned centers and, as needed, at surrounding centers during designated coverage periods. Daily coverage responsibilities are separate from formal supervising or collaborating physician assignments and may not correspond to the APPs assigned under an individual agreement.
