About The Position

The physician must physically reside in South Carolina.

Prisma Health Urgent Care uses a team-based physician coverage model. Depending on operational needs, the physician may serve as the Supervising Physician for assigned centers on certain days, supporting APPs at those centers and, when needed, at surrounding centers. Daily coverage responsibilities are separate from formal Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician assignments and may not correspond to the APPs assigned under an individual agreement.

• Provide timely clinical consultation and support to APPs during assigned supervision or coverage periods, including by telephone or other approved communication methods when not physically present at a center.
• Provide clinical guidance and review cases requiring physician involvement, including high-risk complaints, critical findings, abnormal vital signs, ECGs, and other situations requiring escalation.
• Recommend additional evaluation, treatment, changes to the plan of care, follow-up, or escalation to a higher level of care when concerns arise.
• Review and cosign APP documentation when required by law, credentialing requirements, or Prisma Health Urgent Care policy.
