Urgent Care Physician - Remote APP Supervision

Urgent Care Management or Joint Venture Partner • Sumter, SC

About The Position

Prisma Health Urgent Care is hiring a remote physician to provide clinical oversight, consultation, and support to Advanced Practice Providers (APPs). The physician will be assigned a formal South Carolina Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician relationship and will fulfill the associated oversight, documentation, clinical review, delegation, and other responsibilities in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, Prisma Health Urgent Care policies and procedures, clinical standards, and organizational needs. This is a fully remote position, but 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 and provide consultation to APPs at those centers and, when needed, nearby centers. Daily coverage responsibilities are separate from formal supervising or collaborating physician assignments and may not correspond directly to the APPs assigned under an individual agreement.
