Urgent Care Physician - Remote APP Supervision

Prisma Health Urgent Care • Greenwood, SC

15h • Remote

About The Position

Prisma Health is hiring a remote physician to provide clinical oversight, consultation, and support to Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, organizational policies and procedures, clinical standards, and operational needs. The physician will have a formal South Carolina Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician assignment and will fulfill the related oversight, documentation, clinical review, delegation, and other responsibilities.

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 provide support for assigned centers on certain days, including consultation for APPs at the assigned center and, when needed, at surrounding centers. Daily coverage responsibilities are distinct from formal Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician assignments and may not involve the same APPs.

• Hold current DEA registration.
• Have experience with procedures including suturing and drainage of abscesses.

• Demonstrate effective communication with patients, families, and employees.
• Have outstanding bedside manner with children and adults.
• Have a positive, energetic attitude, a service and team orientation, and a desire to contribute to building and maintaining the organization.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in Urgent Care, Family Medicine, or Emergency Medicine.
• Willingness to go the extra mile to create an outstanding patient experience and support and lead the center team.
• Desire to work collaboratively in an upbeat, supportive atmosphere and reinforce the organization’s mission to provide uncompromising service.
• Desire to serve others and improve community health.

Responsibilities

• 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 physician 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.
• Provide additional clinical support and case review for newly hired, newly credentialed, or otherwise designated APPs during orientation or enhanced supervision periods.
• Participate in applicable quality improvement and peer review activities related to APP practice, provide clinical feedback, and escalate significant quality or patient safety concerns through established processes.
• Support APP practice within the physician’s authorized scope and applicable requirements for supervision, collaboration, delegation, and prescriptive authority.
• Provide clinical consultation and support to APPs at assigned centers and, when needed, surrounding Prisma Health Urgent Care centers.
